A member asked:
I've had a dark mole on hip for 15-20 years. 6mm, not entirely round, but symmetrical in shape. does my derm just check it each visit for changes?

Good: that is what is required. Alternatively you can get it excised ( removed ) get it analyzed ( biopsy ) if negative then you don't have to worry
