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 picked at a preexisting mole on my shoulder, and now it is inflamed and darker, and the skin around it is red. Is this something to be concerned about? Or was it probably just from picking at it. Also, it didnt itch or hurt before?
