How fast do benign moles tend to grow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do not grow: Benign moles do not grow. If a mole and become larger, irregular, changes in color, becomes nodular or bleeds, see a doctor to have it evaluated and may be removed. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
