Dr. Brian Maloney answered

Specializes in Facial Plastic Surgery

Gray Hair: The graying of the hair is more of a genetic issue and not related to the moles. That is the hair in that region may be predisposed to gray in your case. For most of us the process is more diffuse. The gray hair is not a sign of the mole changing to a skin cancer.

Is an irregular shaped mole with irregular colour and raised borders with hair growing out of it cause for concern? It is on the patient's back and the patient is unsure if it is necessary to consult a Doctor? Would you kindly advise?
