Is it a mole, a growth or a skin liaison?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have that 'mole' under my left shoulder blade - where the bras' strap rub in - which is dry, flaky, itchy and over half a centimetre. Its surface is rough and scabby. Should I be concerned? 

I have another two on my back, but they are very much smaller.

    Someone from Mumsnet suggested 'Seborrheic Keratosis'. I am not sure although it could be, since the large one is where the bra's strap is rubbing.

      If Seborrheic keratosis, it is benign and will go away in few weeks.
