Hello, been doing really well lately but for some reason the skin cancer fear I had months ago is creeping back!!! When I was at my worst I picked away a few moles , they healed just to normal skin. My question is........ Could those moles turn into melenoma under my skin?? I mean because I picked the top of a mole away doesn't mean the root isn't still there, so do you think I would still have some kind of indication on the surface of my skin if a mole I had picked away has turned bad?? I worry the root could turn cancerous and I wouldn't no because I picked the visible bit of the mole away?? Please help xx thanks xx

Do moles have roots?
I wouldn't advise picking moles off, not for the reason you're worried about, but infections etc.

They do go deeper than the top layer of skin, do you think melenoma would still show itsself?
