Asked By:beaniebaby2323 in Ontario, CA

I went to a dermatologist 3 years ago for a mole check and recently got some mole removed from my back. 2 months ago I not a mole near my belly button and was considering getting it removed and when I was looking at it .. It appeared to be flacky and it scratched off without bleeding and looked like there was never a mole there with perfect skin underneath. Now 2 mths later it has returned and is flacky and it's almost like you can rub it off with a light brown color underneath. I'm 29
