A member asked:

Had a small raised mole checked (dr says it looks fine) is it still necessary to remove it or better to just let it be. if removed, will it grow back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Monitor mole: Hello, There are many different types of moles, and most are fine. That said, any changes in an existing mole, or new moles as an adult can represent a possible melanoma. Since melanomas are the most dangerous type of skin cancer, it is always best to have any mole in question checked by a conscientious dermatologist and possibly biopsied.
