A member asked:
How quickly does melanoma change a moles appearance? and does the mole consistently change over weeks/months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MELANOMAS CAN GROW OVER THE YEARS AND BECOME DARKER AND RAISED. THEY CAN ALSO BE FLAT AND OCCUR IN MALES MORE THAN FEMALES STARTING AT AROUND 30 YEARS OR MORE. THEY ARE CANCEROUS AND DEADLY AND TOO MUCH SUN IS A CAUSING FACTOR. CHECK YOUR BODY FOR ANY SUSPICIOUS MOLES.
