I have a new mole that is above my eyelid, that is darker then when I first noticed it about a week ago. Do I have to see a dermatologist? Or an eye doctor? Also, the mole is super small, and hasnt grown just seems darker.

I am 30F, 2 months ago I had 2 moles/freckles appeared on my right wrist and then they became small and disappeared within a week. I went to dermatologist later on and she told she couldnt see anything with a dermascope in that sight. is it melanoma?

If 7 dermatologists said a mole looks fine and used a dermascope, should I rest assured? Most said i could get it off if i really wanted.

I have an irregular mole (mum died melanoma) dermatologist said to keep an eye on it or they can remove. What do you suggest?

Went to a dermatologist. He found 2 dark moles. He said I should keep an eye on them. What does that mean? Should I worry? Why didn't he remove it?
