Will scabbing of a mole change it's appearance?

[Ann236]

I've been posting a lot about this mole on my nose, it's quite small and flat. I used to feel like it was changing in appearance because for a period of time I would have a habit of rubbing or touching the area a lot, but it's been about 3 weeks and I've noticed each week, the mole would look darker as a small scab forms, which eventually falls off. This then leaves the mole looking lighter, but it again becomes darker and a scab would form once again. This repeated almost 3 times now. I am very self conscious of this mole and the main thing I would like to know is after this scabbing, would the mole appear darker, bigger, or even raised (any kind of change in appearance)? I would go ask a doctor, but I feel like that's a bit too 'extreme' for my minor issue, so asking online seems like the best option. I do not think I have skin cancer, because the appearance of the mole doesn't look cancerous (I've done research) and I'm quite young still, so any changes in a mole are said to be normal for me, but if my symptom does strongly seem like it is, I'm fully open to any advice or warnings about it, and I'll be sure to see a dermatologist too. Thanks!

When a mole changes, you need to get it looked at- even if it doesn't appear cancerous right now.   Any doctor would really prefer you go in for it to be looked at and it be nothing, rather then wait and ignore it- and it turn out to be something.  It's clearly making you anxious as well, so a solid answer from a doctor is going to be the best course of action.

Okay, I'll definitely try to. Thank you so much!
