Should someone be concerned about a mole that became itchy, and fell off, leaving a raised, mole shaped scar?

Sounds like: a verruca, or wart. But depending on appearance, size, and any recent changes, it could always be a melanoma if it is a pigmented lesion. It is best to show it to your doctor.
