Have a question about a "questionable" mole.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If worried, see Dr.: New moles appear on people's skin as they age. Even children get new moles. Some moles are worrisome, and a dermatologist can look for, examine, or biopsy such moles. Concerning signs are: asymmetry (for example, one half of the mole growing faster than the other half), border irregularity, more than 1 color in the mole, diameter more than 6mm, and the mole is elevated above the surrounding skin.
