Mole - melanoma?

[wlnthose35]

Two months ago, my scalp started itching and thinning diffusely. Despite the thinning, I was not finding hairs anywhere.

I went to a doctor. He noticed a "non-cancerous" mole in the sweet spot of my itching (the crown). He said the area around it was red. As treatment, he gave me the anti-fungal shampoo, Nizoral 2%.

A month later, the mole has grown and still itches. This whole time I've been focused on the hair loss when I probably should have been focused on the mole. I'm trying to set up a doctor's apportionment. But I have a question.

Does anyone know of any link between moles and hairloss? (other than chemo causing hairloss)

Thank you very much.
