Is this mole exhibiting symptoms of skin cancer and should I see a dermatologist? (Photos)

November 17, 2016
Asked By:cmodom in Nashville, TN

I have had this mole on my stomach for several years. I am 23. This past week, however, this mole on my stomach has felt dry. I just put a little lotion on it thinking it might be dry skin, and that seemed to work. The lotion would fix it, but I've never had this problem before. It is not itchy. Today I picked at it and it flaked a little. There was a clear fluid and a bit of blood, but only after I tried to pick it off. After removing the dry part, it looks normal again. Is this worrisome?
