Question 1

my mole hurts what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Get it looked at!: Any time a mole starts to cause any tenderness it should be looked at and a biopsy taken.  Has it grown in size? Are the borders irregular? Has it changed shape? Has the texture or color changed? These are all signs to watch for. I recommend having a specialist take a look if you are concerned!

Question 2

when a mole hurts when you itch it does that mean it's cancerous?

Possibly: Changes in a mole such as color, shape, size, texture may be a sign of malignant transformation. If the mole feels different such as being painful or itchy or if it's bleeding are all reasons to get it seen by a dermatologist and possible biopsy to make sure it's not becoming a melanoma.

Question 6

Question 8

accidently picked at a brown mole now it is red mole and hurts and red skin round mole, not itchy or no pus

Accepted Answer

Why 6 weeks?: Was it a seborrheic keratosis? By the time you see a Dr in 6 weeks it will no longer be red or tender. When you go, let's hope the Dr can identify it precisely. If not, a biopsy will settle it. Not urgent.
