What does it mean when a mole itches?

Itching is caused when your skin’s nerves are irritated. This irritation could be caused by chemicals that are applied to your skin, dry skin, peeling skin caused by a sunburn, and other reasons. However, an itchy mole could also be from changes within the mole itself, and changing moles need your attention.

Should I be worried about an itchy mole?
