Mole on hubbys chest that has a dark spot on it then i remember. he says hasn't changed. how fast does melanoma change a mole? other signs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take a picture: If a mole becomes larger, irregular, changes color, bleeds, develops a ulcer or a nodule, it would be important to have it checked out and if needed removed. You may want to take a picture of the mole to compare it to the actual mole a later date, rather than relying on your memory of its appearance. see this site for info. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/moles/basics/definition/con-20019745
