Thank you for your question. How long ago is recent?  Following scratching the mole I would expect it to look like you have shown. This will take time to settle down. Imagine if you cut yourself anywhere normally - the wound will take about a week to scab up and then as the scab comes off...

Hello sarah99x~ Thanks for sharing your photograph.  Your mole removal site looks slightly inflamed and a little raised.  You may benefit from steroid or antibiotic treatment.  Please follow-up with your physician for a clinical exam and recommendations. Best wishes,Dr. Amy Hsu

This is difficult to answer without pictures. I recommend following up with your cosmetic dermatologist. Hyperpigmented scars can be improved with a combination of lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
