Question 1

what do you recommend if i have a mole on my neck that i'd like to get removed. does getting them removed hurt?

Accepted Answer

No: Many moles that are benign and hidden under close are easily  watched for changes.  In the neck area where a growing pigmented lesion is present, cosmetics  is important and since even large moles are easy to excise, I do recommend their removal.

Question 2

recently had a mole on the back of my neck removed.after 2 weeks it has grown back black as well as with a red ring around it. could this be dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: All depends on how the mole was removed and was it sent for microscopic examination? Did the doctor do a punch biopsy or cut it out with a scalpel and then suture it closed? The red ring could be indication of beginning infection. Please get back to the doctor who took the mole off and ask him/her the answers to the questions I just posed.

Question 3

i have a mole on my neck since a child i was told if it grew turned black and grew hairs i was to have it removed why?

Accepted Answer

Not a problem: Honestly, hair growth within a mole is really not an issue. Color change, however, is one of the events in the "life" of a mole that should direct you to see a dermatologist. I certainly would recommend that.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Excise: You can have the mole excised with either a surgeon or dermatologist.

Question 5

Question 6

hello. i have a mole on my neck. it's very small and it sticks out and you can wiggle it. i heard that if you try to pop it like a pimple it will bleed. i've had it or years. how can i get rid of it?

See MD: This may require a biopsy but it may be a skin tag.

Question 7

hi, i have a mole on my neck that i have had since childhood. it has a dark brown center and lighter brown on the edges and bigger than six mm. there is a skin tag growing in the center of it. should i get it checked out?

Accepted Answer

Yes. : Would recommend to have the mole checked out and removed.

Question 8

i have a mole on my neck, i get checked yearly derm sees no change in color, size, i scratched it with my nail accidentally & it bled, is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is entirely: possible that your mole would bleed if traumatized. If your Dermatologist has been checking it there is not much to worry about. If necessary, put a bandaid over it for a few days to avoid additional trauma.

Question 9

had  mole on my neck since was born. never bothers me
went to get it shaved off at 12 yrs, no problem
im 22 & got a cyst near it went to derm she was concerned about the mole said it looked irregular- biopsy it sent to lab
should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

No sense: If the &quot;mole&quot; was shaved off 10 years ago, how could it be &quot;irregular&quot; now? It was sent to pathology and a report on microscopic analysis will be on the DR&#x27;s desk after 2 or 3 days. Don&#x27;t ask if you should worry. Get the diagnosis from the Dr. My guess is that the original shaving was done to get rid of an annoying nevus sticking up. Only the surface was removed 10 years ago, leaving a flat brown

Question 10

had a mole removed on my neck that was suspicious of a possible melanoma. the doctor said it most likely wasn't though.. biopsy results are next week. neck lymph node is bean size and tender. is it connected/cancer spreading or could it be nothing?

Accepted Answer

Either: If lymph node not present before biopsy, likey "reactive" lymph node from procedure. Show the node to MD when you return.
