A member asked:
Can you soften a mole by using neosporn on it for a day? my friend says that that is an easy way to identify a scar from a mole since the scar softens
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: That's not going to help. The only concern is whether you have something that needs to be removed. If your possible moe shows any signs of perhaps being a melanoma, get seen.
