A member asked:
How long do you think is a long time before an odd looking growth is looked at by a dermatologist.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin changes: You would want to look at the pigmentation and ask yourself. How long has it been there, has it grown over the past week/months, has it changed in size/color, etc. There are many different reasons to have pigmentation on your skin. You want to be weary of any new or changing skin lesions, especially if you have a hx of skin cancer. See your pcp/dermatologist for follow-up care.
