NickNack.   Mine was on the middle of my back and itched really bad.  I got the eliptical cut from the first appointment and then had to have a even larger one when it came back bad.  That was in 1991.  I have had basel cell a few times since and pre cancers that looked like normal moles but just started growing fast and were bigger than a pencil eraser.

I have had many crusty types removed but they have all come back normal.  I hope you keep this thread going.  I want to know how you're doing.  Love ya , EZZY

@esmeraldagooch  It's good to know your crusty moles came back normal.  My squamous cell was itchy, too.  I will float this post to the top of my page and come back after my doctor's appt. and when I get the results.

My hubby had one in the middle of his back that the family Dr didn't seem to be concerned with, so I made him go to a Dermotologist and it turns out it was a wart and she froze it. I didn't know warts could be that dark....

I had one on my neck . It got crusty and fell off , no bleeding . It left a red scaly spot thet atarted to enlarge so I had it biopsied , And yes it was basil cell cancer , I had it removed by the Mohs procedure and all was well . It was not the more serious melanoma .

I've had a mole on my stomach for as long as I can remember.  About six months ago it started turning crusty.  I didn't give it a lot of thought but recently it's been bothering me.  I Googled it, and it said to see your dermatologist if you had a mole that had turned crusty and it could be malignant.

I made an appt. for March 7.  Has anyone had anything like this?  What was the outcome?  I've never even heard of it.  I wish I had called the doctor sooner.

I found a spot on my lower back.  It was hard to see but it felt dry, crusty to touch.  I took pictures of it with my phone and I thought it looked bad.  I went to the dermatologist and he said it was a mole, a nevus.  I had more on my back, smaller ones too.  I had them removed, but not "burned off."  He numbed the area just a little bit and "shaved" them all off.  I had other moles burned off by a different doctor in a different state and once it didn't come off all the way.  It's all about the pressure and how long he leaves it on when doing it that way.  I thought, for me, the scraping this doctor recommended was better for me.  The best thing to do is see your doctor, I'm glad you've already made an appointment.

@ScrapHappy  I've had moles burned off, too.  The last time I had one removed she shaved it.  I thought that was much smoother and preferred having it done that way.  I'm glad your mole was benign.
