A member asked:
Should an itchy mole be of concern?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not necessarily : An itchy mole usually results from inflammation from irritation. However , if a mole stays inflammed for a few weeks , then it would be prudent to have a dermatologist evaluate the mole for biopsy or removal.

Itchy mole: A mole that was not itching initially but becomes itchy is of concern. Any change like increase in size, darkening of the color, ulceration or bleeding make a lesion suspicious for possible skin cancer.
