I had a mole removed four years ago, on my elbow to be biopsed (found benign.) Today, I noticed the scar is paler than usual, and it's lumpy. There's no irritation. Should I get it checked out, or no?

I ripped off a mole and it was a bit brown under but has healed and now is a pink scar. Ive had 5 opinions (not by seems) but by other health care people. All said it looked ok but should I still worry? It scabbed a couple times didnt bleed much?

Hi! I had some moles that were removed with a laser in a clinic around 10 years ago. But it didn't go well, there were white spots with a bit of volume in place of the moles. Basically what I dont like is that the scars are not flat and the color?

A member asked:

I had a terrible time with spitting sutures after tummy tuck. About 4 years later ive noticed a black dot in scar line. Ive watched it for a year. Pinpoint size. No change. Would a dermatologist be able to tell if its a imbedded suture or mole?
