No: many sources: Although moles may develop into skin cancer, it can take on many other forms such as an ulcer, nodule, cyst, plaque, cutaneous horn, papule and other presentations.

Nope: There are several different kinds. Some may develop from existing moles while other will not. Remember to limit your exposure to uv radiation and see your friendly dermatologist for complete skin examinations.
