A member asked:
I have a rapidly enlarging, painful red mole on my shoulder. i've never had this change in any other cherry angiomas. could it be cancerous?

Suspicious moles : The color, borders, appearance and size of a skin lesion are most important determinants to assess potential for a cancerous lesion. An experienced physician will do skin biopsy if the lesion appears worrisome. Without actually looking at it it is hard to say if you need biopsy or not. Therefore get it checked out.
