I have an irregular mole (mum died melanoma) dermatologist said to keep an eye on it or they can remove. what do you suggest?

See below: You concern is understandable, however, vast majority of the moles do not become melanomas. You may watch the mole and if one becomes larger, irregular, changes color, develops a nodule, ulcerates or bleeds, see your doctor. Having it removed is another option if that would give you greater peace of mind.

Please consult with a Dermatologist Doctor who can give you a through examination and the correct recommendations and treatment. If you are not confident in your Doctor see another for a second opinion.
