A member asked:

Does a tender itchy flat mole always mean cancer? and what is the difference between flat and raised mole?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Gurmukh Singh answered

Tissue examination: The only way to know for sure is to remove the lesion and send the tissue to a pathologist for examination. If you have any doubt, see your doctor.
