Is my mole still here after shave extraction? 1 week post op. (photo)

Asked By:amber0529 in Kearney, NE

I had two moles removed next to my belly button a week ago. They were removed using a shave extraction because he said they looked atypical. He did mention during it that one was deeper than he expected. He had to cauterize it. On that one, it has a dark spot that looks like the mole is still completely there. Is that from the cauterizing or is there still mole left? I haven't gotten my results back. These moles showed up about 5 years ago and started changing 1 year ago while I was pregnant.
