The general rule of thumb is, if the mole has been around as long as you can remember, you should get it checked if it: has started to grow larger, is no longer smooth against the skin (has become raised up), if the edges of it have become irregularly shaped (no longer round-ish), if it's a dark mole and a newer paler "shadow" seems to be surrounding it.  All of these would be great reasons to see a dermatologist to have it looked at.

Your mole could be a small hemangioma. It will bleed if you don't cauterize its base after you remove it. Once it is removed EVERY mole should go to a pathologist for examination. Beside melanoma, a very aggressive tumor of the skin, many other conditions may require further treatment after the mole is removed and analyzed, though most are benign. A complication of removing a mole on your own is infection. But why do you want to suffer pain when a tiny amount of local anesthetic and an aseptic procedure can make the process painless and safe? Go to your General Practitioner. He or she can help you.\nhope this helps.

Theirs no way to know with out a biopsy, that is a medical procedure carried out to remove cells that are then analysed to see if they are cancerous or normal....he shouldn't worry, most lumps turn out to be normal growths, but he should definitely make an appointment asap to see his doctor! Most cancers can be treated once found at the early stages....

I have the same kind of mole on my face. Most people don't really notice them. I was thinking of having it removed, but then you're left with a scar. I'd rather have a mole than a scar.

nope they are fine, freckles come in all shapes and sizes just like people. and if they have hair growing out of them or arn't very big then they are healthy but its always good to get all ur freckles and moles checked out every 12 months or so if ur always in the sun

if this hair is a new growth that you have noticed until  recently  or if your mole has changed in any way don't pick at it .it could be a sign of certain kinds of cancer.also best to not get a mole to bleeding,plucking can get a mole to bleeding depending on how deep the hair follicle is.If you have noticed anything new with this mole or if it just looks strange see your health care provider

Definitely, get it looked at by a doctor ASAP.  It could be the start of skin cancer which is easily treatable if not left too long.  If left it can spread and be deadly.  Not trying to scare you, but overexposure, particularly burning and lingering coloured spots point to something not right.  Rule it out right away...

Avoid overexposure to sunlight & consult a dermatologist to determine if these are simple freckles & moles, or if they may be a source of concern, like malignant melanoma.

Don't want to worry you but moles can't always be removed, as they can cause cancer (before you ask I'm a nurse)I've had a tiny one for about 25 years; being stupid I tried to cut it out myself. I've been stuck with what looks like a clump of blood blisters ever since.

Yes you should worry a bit. I also have that in my family, If you feel like you have a lot of presure when having entercourse or feel a nott in your lower tummy you should be checked...Also some time you may have semtems of being prego... However if this is caught early you could still be able to have kids... Good luck....Again you may just be fine

A mole or melanocytic naevus is a small, dark spot on the skin. It can be subdermal made of melanin, or a pigmented growth on the skin, formed mostly of melanocytes. The high concentration of melanin is responsible for their dark color. They are a member of the family of skin lesions known as naevi.\n\nMoles may either be present at birth or develop later in life.\n\nAcquired moles are a form of benign neoplasm, while congenital moles are considered a minor malformation, or hamartoma. Moles are most often of no medical consequence, but since they are permanent, they may occasionally be removed for cosmetic or other reasons.\n\nMoles are usually circular or oval and not very large. Most children are born with moles, and almost everyone has at least one or two moles on their bodies. Large amounts can be concentrated on the back, the chest and arms.

If you are concerned you should ask your doctor or a health professional, not yahoo answers...

if she is that concerned about it, maybe she should talk to her doctor about the risks and alternatives. in the meantime, she should probably use pads.
