A few days back one of the moles on my arm scabbed up. the mole now looks like this http://i.imgur.com/1nvpkpu.jpeg is this anything to worry about?

See your physician: I cannot see the photo, however, any change to a mole should be evaluated by a physician. It is possible the mole was just traumatized, but a thorough exam is definitely warranted to rule out any type of carcinoma.
