Check changing moles: Moles, which are benign or not scary, can grow as a person grows. Moles can grow as a person grows. A physical examination of a mole is essential to giving any recommendations. Any mole that is changing usually should be examined by a healthcare professional (dermatologist if any questions). Thanks dr myers.
