What to look for in a mole you?ve always had?

Mole changes: Dear santel6, moles that change in a short period of time are worrisome. Most long-term moles are benign and harmless. Moles that start to grow in width and with a ruffled or multicolor (blue, black, red)border are worrisome. Any rapid color change within a mole can be a bad sign. Itchiness and spontaneous ulceration are also bad. See your primary physician right away if you are worried.

Nevus: Changes in color, size, irregular borders, ulceration or symptoms such as pain, itching etc are changes that should prompt you to have it checked by an specialist (dermatologist of plastic surgeon) best to you.
