A member asked:

Is there a problem if i am developing moles late in pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: It is normal for moles to become darker and more voluminous during pregnancy. If there is a change in the size, shape, color, or symmetry of a mole, consult a dermatologist as soon as possible.
