Some time ago, a new mole formed on my hand and it's grown a bit over time. it seemed like it has stopped growing since i haven't noticed any new changes in the mole, would it still be considered dangerous?

: Always consider a growing mole dangerous esp if black or brown. But most likely not. Have a Dr. look at it and decide what needs to be done if anything. Check family history. Go to uptodate.com and read more then discuss with a Dr.
