I do not know: BUT, any new change in shape, size, or color of a mole/skin lesion etc. should be evaluated by your dr. Best wishes.

skin evaluation: You new skin areas of pigmentation changes may be benign (non cancerous) or maybe skin cancer. You should see your family doctor and have these new pigmented areas evaluated. You may need a skin biopsy to know for sure. Your family doctor may refer you to a dermatologist for further evaluation.
