Pigmentation: Are you asking about malignant melanoma? I hope you have a head to toe evaluation by your dermatologist every year. If you have an irregular, asymmetric mole of mixed color that is black - get it checked by your dermatologist.

Visual DX: Hi, it’s hard to say without a picture but there is a great app that may be able to help you get a diagnosis without being seen in person by a dermatologist. The app is called VisualDX and is one of the best, if not the best out there. Many clinicians, including myself, use it. Just snap a photo and it gives you a list of possible diagnoses. Good luck!
