A member asked:
A new mole for a women after the age of 40 (43) is mostly cancer (melanoma)? any chance that it can be benign or not really?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be safe, get checked: New moles at any age usually are NOT melanoma. And not all brown spots are moles, especailly at your age. So most likely this is benign. However, it should be professionally evaluated, then you'll know for sure and able to stop worrying about it. Good luck!
