Blood filled mole. Should I drain it?

The mole on my neck was pinched today. It hurt and I expected it to bleed, but instead it just filled up with blood. Should I drain it? It's tender and quite swollen with blood.

If you are concerned about a mole, or it has symptoms like itching, burning, pain or bleeding, please do not hesitate and have it removed. Please go to a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in mole removal and lasers so you can limit the scarring. Best, Dr. Emer.

Sudden appearance of a new pigmented mole on the palm should be evaluated by a trained surgeon. I would excise this mole with local anesthesia.Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Mole removal with these home remedies works in some cases. I would begin by applying Plato's Scar Serum and Plato's Dark Scar Corrector to minimize further longterm scarring. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

I would use a combination of laser and electrodessication with a Hyfrecator. Scarring will be minimal with a non-surgical approach. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

These home remedies may have little effect on some moles. I would opt for a professional treatment such as laser, hyfrecation, Clear and Brilliant, and surgical removal. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

There are variants and degrees of abnormality. Pathologists are often adapting their algorithm for diagnosis to incorporate risks and longterm chances of cancer. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
