I have a problem with an area which had a mole removed 10 years ago.

January 11, 2018
Asked By:SusieDR in Ipswich, AU

Should I visit my GP about this? I had a very dark mole removed about 10 years ago and lately it has started, for want of a better expression, to "tingle". I don't want to waste anyone's time but its such an unpleasant feeling, I am concerned. As this is on the nape of my neck, I cannot get a good enough picture to download anything. The area feels raised, but it doesn't look to be turning darker. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
