I've got one on my arm that i scratch in my sleep all the time. It goes all scabby for a few days and returns to normal in no time. I took a picture of mine with my phone so i could check (it used to be my main obsession). Get you mum to have a look at it in a few day's and if your still worried go to the doctor. They won't mind having a look at it. I normally go to see the practice nurse at my place she's been around forever has seen everything and is really reassuring, and I don't feel like I'm waisting my doctors time.

Why on earth would you assume that you are going to get cancer???:ohmy:

Alex has big moles on his back and sometimes he scratches them and they bleed and he hasn't got cancer and isn't going to die either.

It will be fine - just let it heal and don't pick it anymore.

You will not get cancer from one mole bleeding trust me.

If it's increasing your anxiety just go and see your Doctor and get it checked out. If you scratch a mole it will bleed, doesn't mean anything in itself though.
