If a very averse mole is pinky&covered by a dandruff&didn't get bigger in size in 3months it's not cancerous?i know it should be examined but to relax

Have it checked: The red scaly area on the skin may be inflammation or fungal infection. However, certain skin cancers also have a similar appearance. Even though it has not gotten bigger in 3 months, it could be a slow growing basal cell cancer. It would be best to have it checked.
