Question 1

I have a flat freckle on the back of my neck which is itchy and had become raised like a mole, should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Many moles start out as flat and then become raised.
Moles can be itchy.  Neither of these signs would prompt major concern,  but it can never hurt to have it checked.  Become concerned if change in color, especially getting darker,  looking different from your other moles,  more than one color in the mole, 
irregular borders.  A dermatologist can look at the mole
under a magnifying  lens in office.

Question 2

Tiny red raised smooth oval bump on neck. could this be a mole? i've had it for ages and hasn't changed. i'm just wondering what it could be?

Accepted Answer

Skin bumps are very difficult to describe in words, so an exam by a primary care doctor or a dermatologist is helpful when a bump is present. Sometimes long-term bumps are moles, skin tags, little skin cysts, comedones, molluscum, etc...  If one cannot go to her doctor, then a video consultation (such as on HealthTap) with good lighting and camera quality may diagnose the bump.

It is always wise to have all pigmented lesions evaluated regularly by a dermatologist; if there are changes, a visit or phone call also gives you the opportunity to discuss your concerns with the dermatologist who knows you.
