Itchy moles

Yeah, "go to the doctor!" I know. I did :\ He said it was just traumatised, the one that was an issue at the time. And it healed up and faded back to normal.

But it's crazy! Crazy I tell you! I have a few moles on my arms, they're regular, in terms of shape and colour and all. Except randomly, one'll itch, I'll absent mindedly scratch it, annoy it, it'll heal,and return to normal, or if it scabbed then a bit more faded than it used to be.

But it's happened to 7 now. What the hell is going on :confused:

Erm... irritation of the skin keeps it reoccurring? Perhaps find some way to avoid itching your arms if possible, I'm not sure what though... ? :s-smilie:

Maybe its just since it happened to one mole, you've become worried about the others and its making you feel like they are 'itchy.'
I'm not saying you are making it up, but that could be one factor affecting it.

If you have hairs growing in your mole, and they become ingrowing or irritating this can cause them to itch as well.

Most GP's will refer you to get a mole removed if you are honestly very worried about it but I doubt they would remove many on mass anyway.
