A member asked:
Hi, how quick do melanoma moles evolve?/how long does it take for one to see a change? (i am a teenager, i get new moles all the time, but there is this one i am concerned about- although it hasn't changed rapidly at all throughout the months)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: You may watch and wait. If the mole doubles in size, becomes irregular in size, shape or color, bleeds, ulcerates or develops a nodule, see a doctor. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
