I am a fair skinned female with many moles and freckles. a mole on my abdomen has grown in the past year and now has turned purple. cause for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Changing moles: are always a cause for concern. Please go get it evaluated. We have previously mentioned the ABCD of moles. Asymetry, one side is different than the other. Borders are irregular. Color, changes or red, white and blue. Diameter, bigger than a pencil eraser. Those changes need evaluation.
