Signs & symptoms of a bad mole

Moles (nevi) are growths that commonly occur and are usually brown or flesh-coloured and can be flat or elevated. A mole removal can be done by your dermatologist using a variety of surgical techniques, depending on the size and location. If you notice a change in a mole or if a mole looks unusual (e.g. not symmetric, irregular borders, very dark colour or multiple colours, or size changes), it could be dangerous (e.g. melanoma) and it must be examined and/or tested by a Dermatologist.

Is it normal for a childhood mole to grow as well as sprout a strand of hair? It's a bit asymmetrical and a bit raised but the color is the same all throughout the mole.

My mole started bleeding randomly yesterday and I had the mole since I was a kid. I should definitely get it checked out. I’m worried and scared.

Hi Doc, I have birth raised mole changing to skin colour, 3 different GP said it’s fine, the mole is no itching or crusting or bleeding and has symmetrical and it’s oval looking . It’s only one worries is the pigmentation which it’s start to lighten up, it’s worth of concern like ?

What does it mean when an asymmetric brown mole area around it became itchy for a little while and then the whole mole disappeared? Should I be concerned? No bleed on the mole prior disappearance? The mole wasn't raised.

I have a mole on my back.. I’ve had it checked by my GP and dermatology clinic both have said they think it’s fine but it’s tingling, it’s been about 2 months and it won’t go.. is it bad if my mole is tingling and if not is there a reason why it’s happening?

Thank you for anyone replying.
