A "normal" (life long) mole on my upper back suddenly becomes itchy.

I have many moles over my body that have been there all my life. Some have been removed and biopsied and were negative for cancer. This one is in a place where I can't see it, and therefore I can't see if there have been changes. I see my Primary Care physician annually, and he keeps an "eye" on them. This seems pretty petty, and I don't have health insurance. Should I see the doctor anyway?
