Mole - dangerous?

Hi All,

I've had a mole on my neck for as long as I can remember. I've only noticed recently that there appears to be a kind of black scab looking part towards the bottom. I've done some google searches etc, but can't find an exact answer of what this could be the result of. Any ideas? I can't upload images here but there's a link below.

Foy anyone that does not want to click on the link I'll do my best to describe...

The mole is raised from the skin and appears like a solid brown colour. On the mole itself there's some small black dots, but, with a larger black scab towards the bottom. The skin surrounding the mole is not red. I think the mole did feel itchy a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure if this was the mole itself or a genuine achne spot around the same area.

  • Hi,

    I'm afraid your link has been removed as photos are not allowed as per the terms & conditions. 

    No one on the forum can tell you if the mole looks worrying I'm afraid. The fact that there is more than one colour means that it's best to be checked out by a GP. They will probably ask you to email photos of the mole and they will decide if you need a referral to dermatology for it checking out. Hopefully it's fine but please get it checked,
