Went to dermatologist today for a raised freckle. she said raised is good and the flat ones are the ones they worry about sometimes. is this true?

Freckles: Whenever you are concerned about a freckle or mole, you should have it evaluated by a board certified physician. Raise/good and flat/bad are over simplifications.
