changing moles are something that should be checked out. If suspicious, the doctor will remove and have a biopsy done. If pre-cancerous or cancer cells are present, then your other moles and skin will be watched more closely.
Better to have it checked out than ignore it.
If there is no reason for the mole to have turned into a scab, I.E. It hasn’t been irritated at all or scratched. Then get it checked out. It’s 90% going to be nothing but it’s important to catch skin cancers early as melanoma spreads very quickly to other parts of the body and does not react well to treatment.
