A member asked:

Are black spots in congenital nevus safe?

Dr. Brian Maloney answered

Specializes in Facial Plastic Surgery

Changes in Moles: Whenever you have a mole that has changed, the safe thing to do is have a dermatologist check it out. Fortunately by seeing a doctor early, the majority of malignant melanomas, the skin cancer that can form from moles, are treated by simply excising them. Early examination is the key!
