Does my mole look bad (itching, bleeding and hurts)? (Photo)

Mole removal begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation to determine the likelihood of a mole being worrisome. Excisional and incisional biopsies are reserved for suspicious moles. But it’s good news that most moles are not problematic and are only cosmetic, thus leading to the option of scarless or non-surgical mole removal with lasers and RF and plasma. Our office specializes in non-surgical mole removal.

Thanks for your question and photo. I would keep an eye on this lesion, and if it gets any worse or continues to look concerning, go to your dermatologist or general doctor to have it possibly biopsied. It might just be irritated from scratching or friction. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and photograph. It's difficult to evaluate your skin through this type of forum. In my opinion, any skin lesions that suddenly change, become painful, or get bigger should be evaluated by a dermatologist. If there are any irregularities, then a biopsy should be performed. I highly recommend you consul with a board certified dermatologist to have your skin evaluated. Take care and good luck.
