Bleeding and becoming infected when accidentally cut or scratched, are common complications.
Persistent irritation poses risk for mole to turn into cancerous lesion.
Moles usually come back at their sites, and this happens even when the mole is removed at doctor's office, but, some cells deeper in skin are accidentally left.

It will be a good idea to stop with picking off the scab and visiting your dermatologist.
