Can a raised mole be peeled off easily or does it take force?

Asked By:joeisabeast in Newcastle Upon Tyne, GB

Hello, I have a question. Can a raised mole be peeled off easily because when I scratched my skin, I felt a raised small area peeled off. It could be a scab but this leads to my question. Can a raised mole be peeled off my just scratching skin or does it need alot of actual force?
