What Causes Itchy Large Mole On Side Of Face?
I have a large, light-colored mole on the side of my face. It itches and it has cracked completely through, but has not bled. I saw my GP about it and he said it wasn't a problem. I can't get an appointment with my dermatologist until March. Meanwhile it itches and I think I am scratching it in my sleep. Any advice?
