A member asked:
I have a mole that is a raised circular bump that is mostly transparent but has asymmetrical brown coloring on top. what are the chances for cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pretty low but...: Irregular moles should be checked asap. Especially if they have increased in size quickly or bleed easily. If an md feels it is benign and it continues to behave benign it can be watched. However, the only way to get a definite answer is with a biopsy.
