A member asked:
Very dry scalp with mole on scalp that recently had pieces fall off, could the dry scalp cause the mole to shed skin too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a dermatologist: Is it a "mole" or a seborrheic keratosis? Is it dry scalp or psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis or something else??
