A member asked:
I have a mole on the side of my face i went to the doctors they said its dry. could that mean cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: A changing black mole can be a sign of cancer, called melanoma. So watch your mole for any change in size and color. If there is change, ask your doctor for a biopsy/removal of this mole.
