[quote=Anonymous]I have a mole on my back. From what I can tell it was normal looking. I went to a derm a couple months ago for a different mole and she looked at all my other ones, including this one and said they were "fine". I did not like her because I felt completely rushed and didn't feel like she took a lot of time with me.

Now I am freaking out because of course everything you read on the internet says a bleeding itching mole is advanced melanoma. I am really vigilant about looking at my moles, but since this is on my back, and never get a good look at it. I have an appointment tomorrow morning (with a different dermatologist)

I am hoping this is a just a case where my back was dry and I was scratching and accidentally scratched it off. I have been scratching all over my back for a few months due to dry skin.

Anyone else experienced scratching off a mole? Did you get it checked out? Results? I am really scared about this and feel so stupid and upset that I haven't paid more attention to this mole on my back.[/quote]
