Can a peeled and traumatized mole still be checked and be seen under a dermatoscope?

Asked By:ryanwaterson in Newcastle Upon Tyne, GB

Hello, Recently I peeled off a new mole as I thought is was a scab. I will be going to the derm to get it checked for melanoma but my problem is that when I peeled off the molem I traumatized the area again severely. It healed buy i'm worried that the mole area will no longer be visible through a dermatoscope. My question is that if a mole is peeled off and traumatized again badly, can it still be seen under a dermatoscope like the remnants of where the mole was? Please help
