How do i know if a mole is unsafe ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Biopsy: To differentiate between benign(safe), potentially malignant(no so safe) and malignant moles (totally unsafe) the punch biopsy should be performed. If the mole is changing color, shape and is enlarging please schedule your appointment with dermatologist as soon as possible. After the biopsy is done it is going to be reviewed by pathologist and the diagnosis would be established and reported.
