Moles

Hi all .... I have always had a lot of moles and freckles, just like my Dad. I had several of the round dark moles removed several years ago - they were fine, and I also had some subcutaneous hyperplasia frozen several times. My last total skin exam was 5 years ago and I'm going in again in May. Now something new has cropped up and I have no idea what this is ... exzema? psoriasis? I get round circles on my body - here and there - no color, but very dry-almost flaky but not quite - and at times they itch ..... not often, just now and then. They're not very big .... largest is on my thigh and I'd say about 1/2" around and the rest are considerably smaller. I have no idea what this is and whether it's something I need to have looked at before May or not. I keep a close watch on my skin but I can't see my back and I know I have several of those round black moles that need to go. I just don't know what this round, scale type, sometimes itchy, stuff is. Any help out there?

Hi @amberpep,
Seeing a dermatologist sounds like a next step to get a diagnosis. That way, once you have an accurate diagnosis, you can get the right treatment and begin experiencing some relief. It's good to know that you are taking care of your skin and keeping a close watch.
