Don't be embarrassed: And show the physician your mole. It is the smart thing to do. I'm sure that he/she has seen many lesions on the mons pubis. Good luck!

Have it biopsied.: Anyone with a history of atypical moles who develops new moles with scaliness and itching should have it biopsied. The redness around the mole may represent inflammation from scratching it or more remote possibility of an infection. See your pcp or your plastic surgeon.
