Very Unusual Mole Activity
My boyfriend has had a small mole on his cheekbone the entire time I've known him (going on three years, now), but recently he was scratching an itch on his face, and he said he felt the mole partially separate from his face.
After this happened, it was still attached, but was more like a flat flap that could be pressed back "into place." The skin on its surface began peeling a few times, like skin might after an angry pimple dries out.
Then it became more of a raised bump than a flap, and continued to dry out and peel, and THEN it turned into a sort of an unsettling sea anemone-type of surface; lots of tiny, tiny finger-like strands. The area where it is attached to his face seems to be continuing to shrink and we feel like it wants to fall off, but this unusual surface texture has me a bit worried. All of this took place within the last month to month-and-a-half.
I've googled and googled and I haven't been able to find anything similar to this situation, so my questions are: 1) Is this something to be genuinely concerned about? I tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac, and that extends a bit to my boyfriend, so I don't know if I'm getting worried over nothing or not. 2) If we do need to worry about it, and it DOES fall off on its own, do we still need to worry about it, or is the problem over?
I've just never seen or heard of a mole turning into little finger-like strands in my entire life. I'm asking here because he tends to be pretty reluctant to see a doctor, while I tend to be over-ready to see a doctor. =P
Thank you in advance...
