Hi there

 

This definitely needs to be checked out by a doctor.  Any skin lesion which bleeds, is crusty, itchy, and sore could be a sign of some type of skin cancer.  But you won't know until you get it checked out. 

 

Please make an appointment very soon with your doctor. 

 

Let us know how things go.  And thank you for your question.
