A member asked:

Areas on my head that i've noticed hurt more lately, esp. after washing my hair. achy w/ sharp pains. there is a flat mole in each area. what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a dermatologist: If the lesions are moles, have a dermatologist to look at them . Pain may be a sign the lesions need to be removed, or they may be irritated with combing. The lesions could be something else besides moles, such as cysts.
