If a mole hasnt evolved or changed or anything in about 2 months is it more then likely fine?

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. Wish you good health!

The vast majority of moles are benign and mote develop as we age, a purely genetic phenomenon. To determine if a NEW mole requires a skin check by an HCP, looks for these signs 1) rapid increase in size grows 25% or more in a month, 2) changes color 3) irregular borders, 4) ulcers or sores, 5) satellite moles, 6 bleeding. Basically, moles thst change should be checked.
