Mole Like Bump On Thigh, Right Arm, Itchy. Anything To Worry?

Hi' As one of the previous blogs; I too have a mole like bump on the inner left thigh which itches sometimes. I noticed once I reached my 30"s that this bump not only appeard on my thigh but also on my right arm slightly above my wrist. It started as a spot then gradually pertruding. I thought nothing of it thinking it might be skn mole, but itches at times. Should I be concerned?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi, it seems that you are having either seborrheic keratosis or compound melanocytic nevus. Both the diseases are benign, and not to worry. Both the conditions are very typical and can be diagnosed easily, still ,if needed biopsy may be done...No treatment is needed. But, if you feel embarassing,then consult dermatologist, electrocautery is the best OPD procedure to remove the lesion in both cases... Ok
