A member asked:
I have a tan colored 1/8th" mole behind my left ear that has recently become a little painful and a little bit pink. is there a reason for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Have a dermatologist check it out as to whether it shows any characteristics of a malignant melanoma. That's the one we worry about.
