My mole regrew on the scar tissue, is this a concern? (Photo)

Question

Hey! So I’m 18 years old and recently I had a mole removed and it came back as a benign Meyerson Nevus. It was removed as a punch removal. I’ve had the wound covered up for pretty much the last 2 weeks and today when I was changing the bandage I have over it and applying detol, I noticed that it appears the mole is growing back (greattttt) Basically my question is should I be concerned about this? I’m going back to the dermatologist in 3 months anyways.. so should I just wait? Thanks :)

Thank you for your question and photograph. In my experience, if there are cells left over from the mole after a biopsy, then the mole can return over time, which is to be expected. If you continue to be concerned about the area, then I highly recommend you consult with your dermatologist sooner rather than later. Take care and good luck.
