New Mole on the ear
I noticed a new mole on my ear 4-5years back. Its increasing in size with time. Sometime it itches and the outer black part comes off and then it grows back. Its increasing in size. It was flat initially, now its round. I had done a scrape biopsy 2 years back (it was half its current size then), it had come as melanocytic nevus. I have attached a picture of how it looks now. Do i need to worry?

Hello. Nevus is benign and no need to worry. You can get it removed if you want.
Health Tips
Observe for sudden change in size, pain, bleeding or crusting. In this case it requires medical attention
