Short answer is NO.

But we should also know this rule:

In medicine, never say never.

And certainly I don't recommend anyone to do this maneuver you just mentioned.


If someone wants to test how to transform a benign nevus ("mole") into a melanoma (or less than that, say, dysplastic nevus) by manipulating their moles over and over, then some interesting things may happen. We never know.
