So, I’ve got this birthmark, about 3cm by 2cm, right on the back of my neck. Had it since day one.
But then, over this past summer, I noticed this weird little bump—kind of like a skin tag—starting to grow right out of the middle of it.

I went to see a dermatologist back in July, but honestly, he spent almost all his time obsessing over these two irregular moles in the center of my back instead. He basically told me if I was actually serious about getting anything removed, those two on my back were the priority. I mean, I’ve always had a ton of moles all over, though.

It just feels super sketchy to me how he didn't give much thought to this 2cm x 3cm thing that's literally growing something new... He just brushed it off, saying it looked inflamed and that I should probably stay out of the sun more. He also mentioned that removing a mole that size isn't easy. Like, seriously, how hard can it actually be to get a mole that big taken out?!
Any advice or thoughts? What do you guys think?

The big shot said:says:
I’ve had a mole, about 1.2 by 0.8 inches, on the back of my neck since birth.
But this summer, a weird little growth—kind of like a wart—started popping up out of it.

I went to see a dermatologist back in July, but he spent most of the appointment fussing over two irregular moles in the middle of my back instead. He suggested that if I’m going to get anything removed, those two on my back should be the priority. I have a ton of moles all over my body.

It feels sketchy that he didn't pay more attention to this larger mole that actually has something growing out of it... He just claimed it was inflamed and told me to stay out of the Sun more. He also mentioned that removing a mole that size isn't easy. How hard can it really be to take off a mole that size?!
Any advice or thoughts??

It's difficult because of the size and the location on your neck. He likely judged it to be fine, because if it were a real concern, he would have dealt with it regardless of how complicated the procedure was. Usually, dermatologists can spot what's dangerous versus what's harmless at a glance. Just listen to the doctor and keep checking both that one and your others periodically. I remember seeing a great segment on a major network once about the Sun, moles, and skin cancer. They explained about five key warning signs that dermatologists look for when inspecting moles. Since you have a high mole count, you really need to be careful about sun exposure; you're definitely in a higher risk category for skin cancer.
