People who know about moles

[MissSunshine]

Hi I recently posted about a mole on my leg that I was worried about and had it checked and turned out fine!

But now I am worried about another one of my neck,
it hasnt got bigger, it doesnt ich or bleed or anything
the things I am worried about it 1, it has the most tiniest dark dot init, and 2 my neck is spotty and dry around the mole like dry skin.


So to the people who have moles or know alot about moles, is it normal to have dry skin around a mole? the mole its self isnt dry..just the skin around it
heres a photo of it http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/misssunshinexx5/SAM_0369.jpg

A mole should be checked if....
It changes in color, size, shape, or the border becomes irregular or more defined.
If it breaks open or itches.

As far as the skin around around a mole, it's just like any other skin and can become dry but shouldn't be something to worry about.
Even a mole itself can become dry and need moisturizer because it is skin after all.

Doesn't look bad to me but if you're concerned there's nothing wrong with getting it checked.

I think my doc may be sick of me lol x

Definitely not a bad thing to get moles checked out if you're concerned tho.
I'm sure he will understand.
And where it is, he may want to remove it anyway because there is a good chance of it getting caught on jewelry or clothing and damage done to the skin.

True.
I am going to be worried over the weekend now, does it look that bad? the skin underneath the mole is scaly x

[eeyorelover]

No it doesn't look bad at all!
The border isn't irregular or anything and it just looks like a normal mole.
Don't worry hun!

Looks healthy to me.

The tell tale sign of a healthy mole is hair growing out of it x x x
