Got a mole removed. Scab accidentally got scrapped off. What should I do?

I got a mole removed from my chin by a dermatologist 5 days ago. An elevated scab formed where it was removed. I accidently broke off half the scab. It appears there is an indent under the scab. It did not bleed at all. I'm worried that the hole will not heal properly now. What should I do?
