Can you get cancer from ripping off moles?

Oh, please never try to scratch or cut off a mole at home using thread or lime, it causes terrible infections. If you ripped it by mistake, apply clean turmeric or coconut oil to soothe it, but get a doctor to check it immediately.

My teenager accidentally scratched off a mole on his back while playing. We panicked, but the doctor told us a physical injury to a normal mole won't cause cancer, though we must keep it clean to avoid infections.

Any mole that bleeds, changes shape, or gets ripped off needs professional medical attention. Even if it was just an accident, getting a biopsy or skin check is the only way to be 100% sure it is safe.

I tried to remove a growing mole myself once and it bled like crazy and got severely infected. Later, the doctor told me that removing atypical moles without testing is highly dangerous. Please go to a dermatologist immediately.

Getting a mole checked at a local government medical college is very cheap and will save you from future complications. Don't avoid it fearing expensive private clinic costs; safety is more important.
