Red Ring Around Mole? (photo)

Christina96283
When I was pregnant with my son last year I noticed a mole that I hadn't noticed before on my side. It started itching a few months ago and now is growing a red ring around it which itches. Nervous this is some sort of skin cancer. I've also developed two other areas of itchiness near my hip which are becoming discolored.
