      I have 3 large moles on my back, they have been there as long as I can remember so I assume I was born with them. However, one of them had started itching so I went to the Doctor's yesterday and he said that the itching was not a thing but that my moles were too dark and I had to get them removed.

      He removed the itchy one yesterday and sent it for testing and I have to go back next week to get one of the others removed.

      I have a band-aid over the removed one now but it is still kind of itchy and I don't know if this is because it was removed and is healing or what??

          It's not uncommon for a biopsy site to be "itchy".  I wouldn't worry about it.  Itching CAN be an indication of change, so it was probably good to have the mole removed and tested.
