Hard : Hard to tell without a clinical examination, so i would recommend you see a dermatologist. Please look at the pictures on the link below to see some examples of moles that are abnormal. I hope that helps.

Black mole: Trust your instincts and see a dermatology who can perform a simple skin biopsy to remove the mole and determine if it is cancerous or not by sending it to a lab for pathological evaluation . There is a new medical device called melafind that gently scans dark moles to help in the detection of melanoma.

Had a mole removed on my neck that was suspicious of a possible melanoma. The doctor said it most likely wasn't though.. Biopsy results are next week. Neck lymph node is bean size and tender. Is it connected/cancer spreading or could it be nothing?

Why would the center of a mole removed grow back darker? Mole was slightly atypical. Doctor was not worried but scheduled follow up in 6 mos.
