Weird red spot. Might be a mole?
I have what I think is a mole on my back it's reddish (all my other moles are dark brown) the other day I was satisfying an itch on my back and noticed when I scratched at the 'mole' it was tender. It has since stopped being painful but it's in the back of my mind alot. I don't have insurance and I'm not sure where to go. My family has a history of colon cancer.
