A member asked:

I have a mole on my privet area but it look smaller pink what could it be and what do i put on it it's small?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wart vs Nevus: The lesion could be a wart as they are often flesh-colored to pink. The other possibility is a non-pigmented mole called a nevus , that can have a pinkish color especially in a light-skinned individual. Although both lesions are benign , a wart is viral and could spread , so it would be wise to have it evaluated.
