A member asked:
If a mole was melanoma, would it show noticeable changes over the period of 3 years ?

Mole: Moles can change at anytime. When they change is size, shape, color, borders or bleeding is when they need further evaluation and possible removal. When moles changes is when the workup of melanoma is appropriate.
