Will a mole grow back darker if it was previously scratched off?
About a year ago I had this mole which grew on my face, I wasn't used to this so I scratched it and accidently made a cut. It did grow back after a while, but now I'm wondering if it had grown back darker?
I agree, if you have doubts have it checked out!
If you are certain it’s darker than usual then definitely get it checked.

It's possible it grew back darker, or it's possible it's just your perception of it- but anytime you feel like a mole has changed (even if you scratched it off)- it's a good idea to have a doctor take a quick look at it, as a precautionary measure.
