hiya guys
i havent posted on this actual board before, but ive just been reminded about my moles becuase one is itchy.
ok some back ground
having lots of moles on my back etc seems to run in my family.
my grandpa has them, mum has them and i have them.
there are a lot of them on my back, some raised and some not.
there is on browny coloured one just above my butt. it doesnt get much sunlight. everynow and a gain it gets itchy. i cant really tell if it has gotten any bigger over the years, but it has been there as long as i can remember (im 22 yo now)


should i get it removed?
is there a reason for the itchyness?

any advice would be good

thanks

If it's an itchy mole, I'd have it removed. Chances are it's nothing, but if it's acting funny and it's making you wonder, get rid of it and then you don't have to worry about it anymore. That's what I do. Any mole that makes me wonder, I just go have it removed. Then I know for sure and I don't have to continually watch and wonder how or if it is changing.

Good luck.

I had numerous moles on my back. Only one of them ever really bothered me, it would sometimes itch and bleed when I'd scratch it. It was right between my shoulder blades so not really visable to me. During a visit to my doctor the end of February, I asked him to take a look at all of the moles. The one that sometimes itched was the only one he was concerned about and he did a biopsy. I have Stage 3 Melanoma.
If it's worrying you, don't delay, it's better to be safe than sorry.
