Keloid or mole, how can i tell?

History: Keloids don't happen spontaneously. They result from some kind of skin trauma; a cut, a tattoo or a surgery. If there is no history of these type of events it is more likely a mole. Your pcp, dermatologist or plastic surgeon could tell by looking at the area.

See PCP: Not enough information to provide an answer. Best option is to see your pcp as they are the most important resource for patients.
