A : A mole that is irritated should probably be examined to make sure it is safe (not to mention to prevent it from irritating you again). Check out the pictures in the link below for more examples of abnormal moles, etc. I hope that helps.

Mole: Once the area has healed in a few weeks a dermatologist can evaluate the area to determine if any treatment is needed.
