Hi,
Thank you for using Healthcare Magic. From the information you have provided, I would suggest you need to have the mole examined by a dermatologist. Any mole that is itchy should be checked. It is likely to be nothing serious but this should be confirmed.

Thank you for your response. Did you look at the picture I included? I uploaded it under records so I was not sure if you actually saw the mole.

Brief Answer:
You need this checked.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for the photo. It had not uploaded with your original query. This does look like a mole that a dermatologist needs to examine. You may be asked whether you have any other moles like this, whether it bleeds as well as itches and whether you have a family history of skin cancers. Most moles are not cancerous but you need to be sure.
Any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Dr K A Pottinger
