A member asked:

Is an irregular shaped mole with irregular colour and raised borders with hair growing out of it cause for concern? it is on the patient's back and the patient is unsure if it is necessary to consult a doctor? would you kindly advise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If worried, see Dr.: Hard to tell sometimes, but some moles are more worrisome than others. A dermatologist can look for, examine, and biopsy suspicious moles. Concerning signs are: asymmetry (one half of the mole growing faster than the other half), border irregular, more than 1 color in the mole, diameter more than 6mm, and the mole is elevated above the surrounding skin.
