A member asked:
Can i send a photo of a mole to assess if its dangerous in terms of skin cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: That will not be possible on this platform. Best would be to have it assessed by your doc during your annual exam. When it comes to skin lesions, evaluation on pictures remains suboptimal.
