What should i do if top layer of skin has peeled off my mole and now its really red?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: There should be a reason your skin is peeling your moles. It sounds like you are picking or itching. See your doctor for a biopsy and mole removal. She will ask how it got so inflamed.
