A member asked:
I have got a small mole on my right hand for 5 yrs. and recently, after reading an article online, i think it's a melanoma. is there any home remedy?

Mole: There is no home remedy for a true melanoma. It needs to be treated and followed by a doctor. Please don't self diagnose. Your doctor will tell you what you are dealing with. It is especially important to see your doc if there are changes in the mole, e.g., size, shape, color, bleeding, etc. Peace and good health.
