Well, my mole got nicked somehow. Now it's attached barely, and is constantly bleeding. I feel this is a problem. Can anyone help me?

Put a band-aid on it and leave it alone. Remember the next time you see your Dr to have them look at your moles for any discoloration.

Ouch! If your mole doesn't stop bleeding after fifteen minutes of constant pressure, then you should probably go to your doctor's office or an urgent care. They will be able to put a pressure dressing on it which will stop the bleeding. Once the pressure dressing is on, they will probably tell you to leave it on for at least 24 hours to make sure that the wound clots over and doesn't start bleeding again. I once had a mole removed and the site kept oozing afterwards. I ended up having to go to the ER since it was after hours, but they put a pressure dressing on it and it worked great. Good luck!

You should apply some hyrdoproxide to disinfect the infected area and immediately make an appointment with your dermatologist. And keep pressure to the area that is bleeding. If you are new patient it might take a few weeks to see them so go visit a 24-hour Urgent Care instead and nurses/doctor's will be able to see you right away.

I don't mean to worry you... but you should see a dermatologist.
If a mole is bleeding, it could become dangerous. I had a mole removed myself when I was 8...
When a mole changes in any way: bleeding for no reason, change of color, of form... have it checked. It could be cancer. (But hey, in your case, it's not. Since it got nicked, it has a good reason to bleed)

Rip it off. it'll stop bleeding soon, just rip it off and be done with it.
If it's a weird mole that has just popped up recently then i'd have it checked, but if you've had it for a while, I don't think it's that big of a deal.
DON'T TAKE ASPRIN, that will thin your blood and keep it from clotting easily.

u should see the doctor right away. It might be that the mole is changing or something. If u don't do something about it soon, it might get infected. Go to wikipedia.com for more information

Well, you could pull it off really quick like. But you may want to see a doctor especially if it keeps bleeding. That is not a good thing.

Apply pressure, get it removed. I have one too, and it happens all the time. Avoid it if possible.
