A member asked:
If i've had a reddish purple slightly black asymmetrical mole on thigh a little smaller than a pencil eraser for 4+years, should i be worried?

No: .. but you should have it examined and possibly biopsied to rule out melanoma. Particularly if it has changed in shape, pattern or color over the 4 years.
