A member asked:

I have a mole on my cheek that i have had all my adult life.recently felt sore but now back to normal..no change in sizeshould i still get it checked?

Nevus: Given the fact that you have had this "mole' your entire adult life it is unlikely to be malignant. Moles that increase in size, have color change, bleed or become consistently tender should be evaluated by a physician.
