Hello
Thanks for posting your query.
You need to see a dermatologist.
Crusting of moles needs to be evaluated. Any change in the mole warrants an investigation to rule out melanoma.
Your doctor will do a dermatoscopy and if needed will also perform a biopsy.
Please let me know if any queries.
Regards.
