Is it normal for moles to get bigger when you tan? going to stop tanning btw.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it's not: and any mole that is changing is suspicious for development of melanoma. You should definitely see someone for this. And you should definitely stop tanning----yesterday! Don't pick at or scratch the mole, and apply high powered sunscreen everywhere.
