A member asked:
Why does my mole have dry skin and gets flaky?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritation: If your mole has been present for many years and has recently changed with surface dryness, it may be irritated by clothing or rubbing from other surfaces. If there is a change in the size, shape, or color of the mole, have it checked by a physician as soon as possible.
