A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seek Dermatologist's: A good dermatologist can check your moles and advice you whether your moles are benign or suspected to be cancerous. More than 90% of the moles are benign and do not need surgery, yet they need to be monitored carefully both by you(for any changes) as well as your doctor, and you need to use sunb protection on your skin on a regular basis.
