Q: Itchy Mole

on my face i have a few moles, normal looking - light brown colour, round shape, small, but they sometimes get itchy - and i subconciously scratch them til they bleed. then they turn into a scab and then go back to how they were. i have 3 on my face and they take turns to get itchy, but it doens't happen often. i'm under 20, is this something to be concerned about?

Avoid scratching the moles. Chronic irritation of moles is a risk factor for changing mole.
Itchiness can be a sign for worry, but, it can be, also, triggered by ourselves suggestively.
Please, check these moles with a dermatologist.
