What to look for in moles that are darker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't "over" look it: A darker mole may mean nothing. If a mole has multi-colors, it's more worrisome. But also need to have other features to judge it is or is not a bad one: asymmetrical, border irregular, color changing(not just dark), diameter larger than 6mm and elevated(raised).
