What Causes Itchy Mole On The Back After Sun Burn?

hello, about 3 weeks ago I was pretty badly sunburned on my back. I applied aloe lotion to it multiple times a day and put cold wet cloths on it as often as I could and drank as much water as I could. It has healed very nicely by now. My question is reguarding a mole in the area of the burn. I honestly, cannot recall if the mole was there before the burn or not. However, over the last week or so, it has gotten more and more itchy and now it s almost painful. The mole, and the area around it is very sensitive, to the point where clothes and hair are irritating when they touch it. It is raised, it almost feels like a pimple to me. At the moment I am without health insurance, so my question is, is it extremely important that I pay an arm and a leg to get it checked out? or is it maybe ok? are there signs that I can watch for, that if they happen then I need to get it looked at? Thank you
