A member asked:

I have just noticed a new mole and it has small dark brown dots in it, i've never noticed it until today?

See a dermatologist: Not a typical description of a melanoma. Best is to present to a dermatologist. If suspicious it will be sent for microscopic evaluation.

Derm eval: These lesions need to be visualized & a history needs to be obtained in order to make an accurate diagnosis. Sometimes lab testing or biopsy is necessary.
