Ouch, I scratched my mole!

No.

If you've had it for years and it hasn't changed. Whether the mole is dark, light, large, bulky, misshapen:it doesn't matter. On the other hand, you just have to be 100% sure that the trauma or the bleeding is really due to a small accident such as a scratch, cut, scrape, shaving, etc.

Caution.

If you discover a bleeding mole without a clear and precise reason (regardless of its appearance), you immediately consult a dermatologist. Indeed, an injured or spontaneously bleeding mole can be a sign of a serious medical problem. When in doubt, take precautions and show the wound.

How to treat it?

In the case of a small accident, the injured mole is disinfected and a small bandage is placed on the wound. The healing time is identical to that of our skin.
