I've had this mole for 22 years.?!


Question:

I've had this mole for 22 years.?

I've had this litte dark brown flat mole on my stomach since I was born and just now I had an itch... I scratched and said "Ouch!". I realized I was scratching the mole only now it's raised a little and there is a pink ring that is barely visible around it. Is that just from scratching just now or is this something I should worry about?


Answers:

You should have any new moles or any changes to previous moles checked out. However, since you remember noticing the changes only after you scratched yourself it most likely only a result of that. I would wait a few days and see if it heals up. If it does then I would wait until my next dr appointment and mention it then to be sure. If it does not heal up in a few days or gets worse, I would make a special appointment to get it checked out.
