Have it checked!: Moles on the non-hair-bearing skin, like the palms and soles are often of a concerning type that can become the serious skin cancer, melanoma, later on. For this reason, black or very dark brown moles, especially with irregular borders or more than one color should be removed from these areas, especially. This is a simple office procedure and can be life-saving.
