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.

I had what I thought was a new 1mm irregular mole on the top of my ear. Two days later after wiping it with a wet wipe, it came away from the skin. The area on my ear is a bit red but no pigment can be seen. Could this have been a melanoma?
