An itchy mole can be a concern for many people, and there are several reasons why a mole may itch. Moles may get darker when exposed to the sun or during pregnancy, and raised moles can get irritated by rubbing against clothing. This irritation can cause them to itch. However, there are other reasons why a mole may itch, such as dry skin, peeling due to a sunburn, or exposure to certain skin products. Although itching is not usually a symptom of skin cancer, it can sometimes be a sign of cancer cells irritating nerve endings in or around the mole. If you notice new itchiness in a mole, it is recommended to pay attention to any changes in the size, shape, color, or texture of the mole, as well as any bleeding, swelling, or pain. These symptoms may indicate a more serious issue, and it is important to consult a board certified dermatologist for an evaluation.
