Scratched off a mole
Hello, first of all I want to mention that my English is far from perfect, so if you will not understand something please ask me to give more accurate information.
I had a almost flat pigment mole on my forehead, it was light-brown. Sometimes it was changing its color, becoming dark-brown, then coming back to its original color. Few weeks ago there was acne near this mole, and when I habitually stripped it, I caught the skin of my mole on and scratched it off. Now it is dark-blue, looks like a haematoma. There are little acnes near at, which are also dark-blue colored. I'm very scared of this mole turning in melanoma or another skin cancer. BTW I'm swarthy, dark-haired and brown-eyed 19 years old male. Thank you very much.

There is no reason to worry. That dark-blue color was most likely induced by physical trauma that needs to heal first in order for a physician to easily evaluate the mole (or what is left of it). This does not sound like malignant occurrence but your dermatologist needs to investigate it, especially with information of earlier change in color.
