Have A Mole In The Arm. Have Sudden Peel Off Of Mole Causing Burning Sensation. What To Do?

Recently, about a month ago, I noticed what appears to be a mole growing on the inside of my right arm above the elbow near the middle of my upper arm muscle. It has a rough brown texture is about the size of a pencil eraser and this morning as i was showering it partially peeled off causing a burning sensation. Can you give me an idea what it is.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Moles usually are deep and dont get peeled off.

It must be some other condition like DPN.
Dont worry wait for sometime, apply a mild steroid and antibacterial combination.

If it still persists, meet a dermatologist.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
