Can a mole removed by excision grow back?

brandonmf89
I had a mole on my cheek removed in September by excision. I had stitches both externally and internally. I've always heard that a mole removed my excision should not grow back. Well six months later it looks like there is a very small pigment of the mole returning. Could a mole that has been removed this way return in such short time? Thanks.
