Mole On Neck, Turning White When Squeezed, Oozing. History Of Skin Issues. Serious?
I have had a dark mole on my neck for as long as I can remember, recently it has turned more clear or white and when I squeeze it, it comes out oozing and purulent. I have a history of skin issues both benign and malignant. I also just had a "skin tag" removed on the back of my neck by a family doctor and she didn't see it necessary to test the biopsy. Is there chances this is something bad or am I being a hypochondriac?

Hello,
Welcome to health care magic.
From your description of your mole and with your history of malignant skin lesions in the past, I would suggest you to get the lesion biopsied. Any change in colour, size, shape or associated discharge from a long standing mole is always suspicious.
Hope this helped you.
Wish you good health.
