I recently found a mole on the back of my neck that seemed like it came out of no where. It started itching and when I scratched it it bleed. It got so annoying after a few days that as hard as it was and as thick as it was, I cut the skin off with alcohol wiped surgical cutters. The mole was a little smaller then the tip of a pencil eraser, but very jagged from top to bottom and pink with brownish tones through it. I have other moles, (only one is raised in a private area, but no itching that I can remember) but when I told a friend what I did she freaked and said "what if you have cancer", I didnt even think that was possible for me but after reading your article and others about skin cancer I am worried. Could I have caused it to become worse or spread by cutting it? Should I be worried? Im 33yrs old w/2 kids I need a little advise. I work a lot so going to the doctor is not always priority on my list(especially with lousy health coverage) but if its important I'll go. Please advise? Thanks.
