A member asked:
Had a 2mm mole removed on heel today.dr asked if i had it all my life and i haven't. she said if i did, then it was okay otherwise remove it. why?

Because the concern : Is that it may be something dangerous like a skin cancer. If you were born with it the odds of it being cancer vs a birthmark or mole (nevus) are in favor of the latter.
