Brief Answer:
suspecting a melanoma. please get a dermatoscopy
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.
I reviewed the picture . I have a suspicion that it could be a melanoma.
However it needs to be confirmed whether it's a melanoma or not by a dermatoscopy by your doctor.
In case he suspects it to be a melanoma he will ask for a biopsy to reconfirm the diagnosis.
The other possible diagnosis i kept in mind are
1. A nevus which has got inflamed.
2. A wart.
It will be best to get a dermatoscopy done from your doctor at the earliest.
For the itching you can take tab. Loratidine once at night.
Melanoma is a skin cancer. It can be treated of detected early.
Please let me know if you have any queries.
Take care
