I've had a few tiny moles (1-2mm max) fade away over time. no halo and they didn't look weird before. is this just normal? still a bit of pigment left

Changing Mole: It can be natural for some moles to fade over time. Most moles will have subtle changes over a patient's lifespan. Sudden changes are a definite cause for getting moles examined by a dermatologist. However, it is always a good idea to have moles looked when you begin to notice changes within them.
