A 21-year-old male asked:

A raised mole popped up on my face about a couple weeks ago. when i looked at it this morning it was the same and hadnt shown any changes. but a few hours later when i looked at it again i realized that it had darkened. could it be melanoma?

Best advice is to see a dermatologist, as changes in pigment can sometimes be related to malignancy.
