Show it to your Gyne: Moles on vulva/vagina areas can be benign(if it is flat and of one color). Yet it can be a melanoma, a form of skin cancer( in case it has irregular borders and shows mixture of colors). A biopsy may be needed if it is suspicious. But only your doctor can help you in making this decision. So get it checked soon.

Hi, I just cleaned the wound of my mom. She just had her biopsy of her mole. I cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide and betadine. But the thing is, I changed it after a day. Will it get infected? It looks okay to me. Thanks?
