A member asked:

I had a tiny light brown mole in the web of my finger and now i don't really see it anymore. can moles just disappear?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, spontaneous: involution is common. Even malignant melanomas can do this. If your mole is completely gone, you should not be overly concerned.
