Hi, so for a few months around a tiny mold/freckle on my arm the skin gets dry and peels off, it isn't much skin but it is always in the same place, it seems to happen after hot baths, the mole itself is no bigger than a pinprick and it is light brown, not itchy or bleeding nor has it changed. But what about the dry skin? Is this something to worry about? Skin cancer is my biggest fear so it always blows my HA up! I feel something so small would be a waste of Dr's at this point, but as worried would like some advice?

Also, if I look very closely, i can see the skin around it a little bit more pale than my normal skin??

Take a photo of it with your phone. Make sure to have something in the photo as reference. Every week take another photo. If it changes colour or shape go to the doctors.

Hi thank you for the reply I will do this. Do you feel dry skin around is not something that I need to rush to the doctors?
