itchy mole
Posted: 06-09-08 09:21am

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!

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?
