Hello,
I accidentally picked of a new mole with my fingernail while I was scratching area around it because it was itchy (I have seborrheic dermatitis). I made a small cut through it and it bled for 2-3 minutes. The day later the whole pigmented part vanished, there's maybe only little pigment now around the wound if any. The mole was only 3 mm in diameter. My question is: Can it still be checked for melanoma through a biopsy of the area where the mole was and surrounding skin? Will it be effective in detecting cancer cells?
Thank you
