Picking at a mole??
About 4 days ago a bump popped up on my shoulder which I thought was a pimple. I started picking at it and I was putting acne spot treatments on it regularly. My dad took a look at it and told me to stop because it's a mole.
Should I have it checked out? What could happen from picking/squeezing it and putting acne gels on it?

STOP picking it. Even if it isn’t a mole, picking at things on your body can cause infection.
Moles aren’t supposed to just appear and if they bleed, ooze, changer colour or grow in size then you need to get to a doctor right away as it could be a melanoma.

I dont know but you should go to a doctor.

well you’re definitely not supposed to pick or squeeze it, so i’d probably get it looked at. If you ever got blood out of it from messing with it, you MUST get it looked at. as for the acne gels, nothing will happen from them, they’re ok to put on it

Don’t pick or squeeze. Leave it alone or it could get worse. You may try the acne creams for 2-3 weeks, if it’s not gone by then, get it checked out.
