Is It a Mole or a Wart? (photo)

shaaee
In 2009 I found a tiny, smooth, hard "mole" below my lower stomach but above my vaginal area. I picked at it and a hard seed came out, and the hole that was left on my skin bled quite a bit. A few months later it grew back, turning into a raised, flat, smooth, scaly mole that had uneven and jagged edges about the size of an eraser. It was darker brown in the middle and flesh-colored around the edges. The edges ended up falling off and it shrunk to a smaller smooth mole that occasionally itches.
