A member asked:
The mole itself doesn't itch, pain or burn, the surronding area does, is it melanoma.s? i have scoliosis too

Get it seen: If you suspect that any pigmented or new skin lesion is melanoma, it should be seen by a physician. The lesion most likely to be melanoma is the one that stands out from among the others; asymmetry, irregular borders, variegated colors, and being large are also markers, though itching / burning around the lesion is not.

Agree: Melanomas are usually painless, and do not cause itching or burning. If you have these sensations around a mole, they are likely due to something else which just happens to be around a mole. But you should have it seen by a dermatologist to be sure, anyway.

Unclear: You should alert any changes in signs or symptoms of your moles to your friendly dermatologist.
