The mole has not really changed in a
while, but it's just iching a lot right
now. Though it could just be my mind
playing tricks.
I have been to the dermatologist a couple
months ago.

Has it always been with irregular shape?
Do you feel a burning sensation, too?

Yeah it's always been like. I've had since
I was very young so it probably deformed a
little while I was growing.
No, it doesn't burn. It really only iches
when I think about, or have nothing else
on my mind.

A persistently itchy moles can be indeed
warning sign of a melanoma (ordinary moles
aren't usually itchy).
Also, knowing the fact that melanoma can
develop from a mole located at the soles
and toe fingers, and that this place has
frequent frictions and trauma, you should
ask for further examination or even
excision.
It will be good this mole to be first
checked with dermatoscope, an instrument
that can help your dermatologist to
distinguish benign from malignant lesion
(it will help your doctor to decide if the
mole needs to be exceeded or left). It is
especially of aid in the diagnosis of
malignant melanoma.
Melanoma changes don't take long time!
Waiting for your post!
Best wishes!

Like I've said, it doesn't ichi all time.
It's only when I think about. I've had
other moles being ichi before, and they
stopped iching when I stopped worrying
about it.
Like I was saying it could be mind playing
tricks on with the ichiness. It's about 3x
more ichi than it was earlier today. Soon,
I'm gonna forget about it, and the
ichiness will go way down, or go away
again.
Oh yeah, when I went to dermatologist.
This is one the moles I was directly
asking some questions about.

Is it possible for someone that's not a
doctor to be able to use a dermatoscope
fairly easily, and accurately? I doubt my
parents would like the idea of me going
back to the dermatologist so soon. A few
months ago I pissed them off really badly
from me worrying about moles. THey were
diffrent ones than the one I'm worried
about now.
Actually, could it be a scare of some
kind?

BTW, the mole hasn't changed in shape in
years, Also nobody in my family history
has had skin cancer.
