When should you worry about a skin mole?
when it is two different shades or when it is miss shapen.(just had two removed from my back)
Reply:There are definite signs that a mole is suspicious and should be seen by a doctor. If you have a mole that is








Getting bigger


Changing shape, particularly getting an irregular edge


Changing colour - getting darker,becoming patchy or multi-shaded


Itching or painful


Bleeding or becoming crusty


Looks inflamed


you should go to the doctor straight away. Research suggest that moles with 3 or more different shades of brown or black are particularly likely to be melanoma.
Reply:Well, if you're simply asking the question it means it concerns you, which means you should have a dermatologist check it out. I just had a mole removed yesterday that had worried me for about a year, although the first dermatologist I saw in April said it looked ok to her. The whole process took about 5 minutes and was pretty much pain-free. My new dermatologist told me to NEVER hesitate to come in about stuff like that--it only takes a few minutes to remove and then you know for sure. I read somewhere that if it makes you look at it twice then it's something to have checked out. Plus if it is something at least you caught it early. Go have it checked out!

Reply:The ones that stick off your face is contagious, if you touch them and touch another part of your face, you will cause another one to grow. The small flat ones are hereditary.
