A member asked:
I noticed there was a new small shiny dark brown mole that had appeared on my butt, should i be concerned?

See your doctor: Without being able to visually inspect the mold, I am not able to answer your question. Does it itch? Does it bleed? These are two symptoms that increase the concern about a mole possibly being a skin cancer. See your doctor to have it checked.
