Shaved biopsy was done 07/07/15. I've had this area shaved 3x before & healed normal with no red mark, but mole returned. This last time my derm. went a slight deeper & the raise has not returned but, this mark does not go away. Since July till now I did pick at it & it bleed. I've not touched it anymore all I do is put Aquaphor & Mederma all I want is for the red Mark to go away. What do you suggest. It's only been 2 months since I had it done. Will the red mark go away & heal to my skin color.

I would use a combination of pulsed dye laser and apply Plato's Scar Serum to help reduce the redness of your mole removal scars. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
If your mole is normal in appearance, removal should be strictly a cosmetic concern and can be performed with non surgical methods. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
If your mole has changed in size or color you should absolutely have the mole examined by a board certified dermatologist with experience in skin cancer. It is better to be on the safe side especially if you see that the mole had changed.
