Can picking spots cause skin cancer?

[Frand]

I picked this mole I had on my arm last year as I hated the look of it but then it grew back and formed a scab, so I picked that Now it keeps growing back and im wondering if I will get skin cancer or something. I though I saw some black which indicates melonoma but its just a very tiny hair. Theres no point saying how stupid I am cause I know but what do you think?

Disturbing an existing mole can’t cause cancer however it isn’t a good thing to do. You may want to get a dermatologist to look at it and properly remove it.
