itchy mole

[glad10]

Hi,
I'm 19 and in my state we don't get much sun, probably 2months of heat if were lucky during the summer the rest is rainy windy days and when it is sunny I spend my days in the water with no sunscreen and I sunburn tan and sunburn easily

My question is I developed a mole that is about a cm high that is black and about an inch or less in width with a scabby uneven surface and a small white spot on my upper leg and it is painful when I lay on it and its becoming to itch, I have done my research about skin cancer and what to look for and I have a drs appt in a couple days and am just wondering if there's a possibility its skin cancer?
I'm just concerned if it is how is a skin biopsy done?

Hi there,

I had a look at your photo and I'm sorry I can't really offer an opinion either way. It is great that you are seeing a doctor and they should be able to offer more concrete guidance. Good on you for getting onto this. Take care.
