Is picking off a mole going to lead to anything serious? (Photo)

Chelsea KramerMar 12, 2018
So, I picked off a flat mole on my wrist about a month or two ago. After about a week, it formed into a red spot and it still is. Will this go away and when? Should I see my doctor about this? Does this raise any health concerns?

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Moles can be removed with laser, radiowave or shave. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
