Millions of Americans are diagnosed with cancer. But what exactly is cancer and how does it affect the body?...

Q: Mole Change

asked by: aztec on May 10th, 2007

I have had a slightly elevated mole on my lower neck for as long as I can remember. I think that I must have recently scratched it for some reason. It is not itchy and does not appear to show any of the ABCDE symptoms. It does have a thin scab on it which I occasionally remove but it reforms. When the scab comes off the mole appears as before (no change) Is this worthy of more detailed examination?

Of course I am going to tell you to see a physican. If you keep scraping at this mole, why not have it removed? I have had so many lesions, moles and precancerous places removed its not funny. I just like to be on the safe side. Its probably nothing more than a common mole, but some of those can turn into cancer. BEtter to be safe than sorry! Laughing

I agree with Fairy grandmother. If it bothers you to the point where you are bothering IT, it's time to see a doctor. You'll probably find out that it's nothing but an aggravation--but at least you'll find out!
