Has picking and squeezing my mole made it cancerous or given me skin cancer? (photos)

Asked By:nevskie in Lincolnshire, IL

Mole was medium brown and raised. Now it's sore to touch and a little red with a chunk missing. It doesn't itch and it hasn't changed shape but I'm worried so can someone please help!
