Should I Be Concerned About The Red Mole With Bleeding On Forehead?

I used to have this red mole on my forehead which I had for a long time but it has never bothered me. Now I noticed it got bigger and two days ago it started to bleed because I kept touching it. Now the mole just came right off. Should I be concerned or is this normal?

My Dear

Welcome to Healthcaremagic!

Your details have been assessed and I find that the mole has been partially or completely removed.
The moles generally increase in size when there is growth inside them which may be due to some unhealthy cells trying to multiply faster and may be risky.

At other times, this may result from an infection.

As your description is insufficient to rule out complete removal, I would suggest that you have the mole examined by doctor in person since at times malignant changes do occur and may cause complications later on.
In order to permit fast healing you might like o use an antibiotic both locally and orally till you are able to have your examination carried out.
At the time of examination, if the mole is confirmed to be removed completely, probably nothing else will need to be done. But if a part of it is still present, then removal and a histopathological examination of the removed part to rule out any serious change is mandatory keeping the long term health benefits in mind.

Please do not worry as the problem can be easily managed and physician checkup in such cases is highly recommended and is in your best interest.

Best wishes.
