Should I Be Worried About A Mushroom Like Mole On The Bottom Of My Stomach?
Hello. I have a mile in the bottom of my stomach which I have had for atleast 2 years that I remember but it looks like a mushroom. It itches sometimes but I think that primarily comes from my pants rubbing. It is punk in color and about the size of the tip of my pinky. Is this to be worried about?

Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Judging from the way you describe it I would keep a possibility of Acrochordon or simple a skin tag.
Usually it is pedunculated/has a stalk. Treatment is excising it from the stalk after clamping it with an artery forceps to crush the vascular supply.
It is advisable to get it removed as it can sometimes get caught in clothing and thus can become painful. It is otherwise benign
