Can a mole grow back bigger/different after picking it off? (Photo)

Asked By:Cburz16 in Mississauga, ON

I had a tiny new mole on the bottom of my right foot. I got nervous and picked it out with a needle. After 3 months it seemed to have grown back slightly larger and a bit of a different shape. Can moles grow back differently when you pick at them?
