Is it normal for a flat mole to become raised over time in young adults? i'm 20 and a couple of my otherwise normal moles have become raised.

Dermatologist: Any change in a mole that concerns you enough to request advice here should be examined by a dermatologist.

See a dermatologist: Most moles are harmless. However, getting any suspicious mole checked out quickly will enable you to detect skin cancer in its earliest stages. See a dermatologist for consultation.
