GET BIOPSY=be safe: To be safe: any mole change should be biopsied. Change could include: color change, increase in size, bleeding, starting to itch. Signs of melanoma are: assymetry of lesion, indistinct borders, colors red-black, size >1cm.

Mole: A changing mole, in this case one that is becoming raised may or may not be indicative of skin cancer. See a dermatologist for evaluation.
