Picked mole scab has spread (Photo)

March 4, 2016
Asked By:Dallas1000 in Dallas, Texas

Is it possible for a "normal" mole to have a scab that oozes when disturbed and has the liquid seems to cause the scab to grow or spread? I know I shouldn't have picked and in wondering if I simply infected it possibly. But I'm just trying not to get worried.

How do I reduce redness in a scar?
Chad Robbins, MD says:

For up to 3 months post operatively, you can apply a scar gel .  I recommend to my patients, a scar gel called bio-corneum.  It has silicone and an spf mixed in the gel.  Avoiding sun,tanning, etc will also reduce permanent redness/darkness at scar as well.
