A member asked:
Can bening moles grow or darken some over time? how likely is that changes like these signal dysplasia or melanoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Changes in moles: Moles do change over time for a variety of reasons. Exposure to sun can darken them as well as just aging. Transformation to melanoma is not common but it is important that any mole that has changed color, size or shape would be checked by a doctor..
