Hi,
I'm 28 and have a family history of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer - should I be worried about this mole. It's been scaly and bit itchy and has grown over the last 2 months.
Thanks
Annie

 Just by looking at it, I think it is probalby OK; however, when moles begin changing as you are describing I generally recommend having them evaluated by a dermatologist and possibly removed for microscopic examination.
Just based on this picture I cannot say with 100% certainty that it is normal so I would recommend further evaluation.
Best wishes.

I'm seeing my doctor on Wednesday - hopefully he will agree.
Thanks for your time and reply.
