Basically in the course of a day or two, I had a mole that got bigger and basically burst on its own.
Now, there's basically no sign that the mole was ever there.
Was it a cancerous mole that impacted my skin?

Hi Halycon, Were you sure it was a mole? How long has it been there for? Was it redish or sore before it burst?

The reason i ask this, as i'm a Esthaticain (Beauty Therapist) and have many clients that have in-grown hairs that look like moles, especially if it's been there a while.

Did anything come out of it, when it burst- pus, white matter, or hair?

If concerned, then you should see a DR about it, and get it checked.

Good luck, Inica.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
It was a brownish mole (definetely a mole) near the groin area close to my leg. It itched a bit the day before it burst but not too bad.
I didnt pick it or touch it, basically did whatever it did on its own.
It left no blood, hair or anything mark just basically dissapeared.

halycon24,

I haven't heard of a mole that has burst like that. However, melanoma usually grows but I haven't heard of it growing that fast. Itching can also be a symptom, but benign moles can itch too. You could go see a dermatologist if you feel the need, after all it's always better safe than sorry with melanoma. I would also suggest posting your question over at www.mpip.org for more comments.
