A member asked:

Are all asymmetric moles melanomas? i just had my first biopsy of a 1.5mm mole that had an odd shape and was very dark. not raised, not growing, no weird borders. how likely is it to keep getting new moles with no sun and almost 40?

All it takes, in many cases, is one sunburn years go to make skin prone to develop melanomas. Continue to self examine your skin and ask your partner or a relative to inspect the back of your body for you. Taking serial photos of certain lesions can be used to detect change. In addition visit your dermatologist every 3-6 months for checkups. Remember that any lesion that looks different need check
