Mole On Upper Inner Thigh Near To Groin, Raised And Itchy. Anything To Worry?

I am a 34 year old female and over the past couple of years i've noticed a mole developing on my upper, inner thigh, very close to the groin area. Also i have a mole on my back that is raised and has become itchy. As far as i know of there has not been any form of skin cancer in my family on either side. Should i be concerned?

Hi.Moles are often a brownish colour, although some may be darker or skin-coloured. They can be flat or raised, smooth or rough, and some have hair growing from them. Moles are usually circular or oval with a smooth edge.
Moles can change in number and appearance. Some fade away over time, often without you realizing. They also sometimes respond to hormonal changes, for example during: pregnancy, teenage or older age.Most moles are completely harmless.However if there is bleeding, itching, redness, inflamed (swollen) or crusty I suggest to see your GP.Hope this helps.Take care.

Hi, as you describe they may not be the malignancies, If they start growing, or paining, you can think of the malignancy. They may be due to fungal infection, or a reaction to sulfa drugs, if you take them before.
Any how for clarification, it always must to consult a dermatologist to view and diagnise. Thank you.
