Should I Be Worried About The Mole On Right Side Of Back Which Is Swelling After Scratching?
i have a mole on my right side of my middle back and I always scratch at it thinking it is a breakout or pimple. ive scratch it a few times the past couple days and now it is swollen and feels as if its getting a scab and it feels irritated is this something I should be worried about
I can understand your concern for the mole on right side of back which got swelled after scratching. You haven't told your age and the time period of mole which was present as well as any family history of mole or malignant melanoma in your family.
If any of the mole is larger than pencil tip size or is having pain or itching or redness in it then it should be immediately taken care of. I suggest you to go for a conservative excision including 1 centimeter area around the mole. This will take care of all your stress.
Do not forget to go for biopsy of the are and so the histopathological examination will reduce all your anxiety.
All the best.
