I was noticing a little brown mole on my skin, and I stupidly thought it was something else so I picked it off. It went really red and it has swollen up with a red outline. Now, the mole is dark brown and I'm not sure whether or not it is just a scab. It does not itch or anything; it just stings a bit when I touch it. How would I know if it is cancerous or not?
