Worried abt a dark mole on my hip that's 5mm and slightly irregular in shape. it hasn't grown, & i don't think it's changed, but maybe? how to know?

Dark mole: If the dark mole isn't new, and hasn't changed it is probably fine. That said to keep an eye on it take a picture. You should also let your doctor take a look. If there is a personal or family history of abnormal moles it is a very simple to perform a quick biopsy in the office to remove and diagnose the lesion. Hope that helps.
