During pregnancy mole under my breast changed, it grew to aize of pencil eraser and changed colour from brown to skin colour. Two days before giving birth I showed it to my DR and he used liquid nitrogen on it. During labour it got infected and when I went to see my DR after seven days he removed it by shave method, he left the root inside. he did not send me to dermatologist, he said it is not cancerous. I am regreting doing it, because rooth is stil inside. Is it possible that the rooth after this procedure can turn into cancer. Please answer me I am very scared. Thank you

Moles that are irritated by activities of daily living are best removed.
The shave excision method is the most frequently selected method for mole removal, and, also generally best for moles that are irritated by clothing or shaving.

Was the shaved mole sent for testing?

Rooth left
Yes it was, it came back benign, half dead probably because liquid nitrogen was used. Can rooth someday turn into cancer? Should I ask for dermatologist to take the rooth out. Thank You

Shaving method can leave some of the mole cells beneath the skin, and the mole may grow back again over the next several years.
Removing the mole can reduce the chances to get melanoma.
If the mole come back after several years it is expected to be normal not cancerous mole.
Melanoma can rise from a mole or normal skin area.
So, the mole that can come back, has the some potential to get cancerous as the other ones you already have on your body.

Anyhow, it's good to watch and check this site and all your moles every month by self checkups.
