What Is The Remedy For The Sore And Itchy Bump On The Leg?
I scratched my mole i've had on my leg since birth, and now it is sore and kind of itchy. I think the area near/around it is the itchy part, not the mole itself. Its not red or bleeding but it feels a little bumpy, should i see a skin doctor about this? could it be a potentially harmful mole?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Mole itching can be a sign of Melanoma Malignum development. That is why every mole which itches, becomes reddish, starts to grow, should be removed and checked under a microscope to make sure it is not malignant. Hereditary moles has high risk of melanoma development than regular moles.
That is why I suggest you to visit surgeon or skin doctor as soon as possible and have it removed.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
