Black/dark Brown Spot in Mole Biopsy Wound?

pdm5025
I had a biopsy of a mole taken earlier this week and now there is a black/dark brown spot in the wound. Could this be because the doctor didn't get all of the nevus cells or could it be skin cancer that has a deeper breslow depth that was shaven off?
