Moles on the scalp

2017-12-23 02:38:58
I have a habit of itching my scalp and I keep pulling out the dry scalp. However recently I've noticed that the areas I scratched resemble big moles. Could this be a sign of melanoma? You could feel a bump when you run your fingers along the scalp.

Hello. There are around 5-6 criterias which we consider when we talk about a pre existing mole or birthmark becoming cancerous or something to be worried about. If you are saying its persistent since last few years, then there is less to worry. But keep observing it for change in colour, margins, discharges or any peculiar sensations. If you are finding it doubtful then do send me a picture by text for further clarification. Thank u.
