When to See Your Doctor About a Mole :

It’s important to consult your doctor or a dermatologist about a suspicious skin mole since it may be an early sign of malignant melanoma, which is a life-threatening form of skin cancer.

Examine your skin regularly, looking for any new skin moles as well as changes in the moles you already have. If you have a family history of atypical moles or skin cancer, or a large number of moles or freckles, your primary doctor may suggest that you see a dermatologist for regular skin evaluations.

When you examine your moles, remember the ABCDEs of melanoma. If you notice any of the following, consult your doctor or dermatologist:

A for asymmetry: A mole in which one half of the mole does not look like the other
B for irregular border: A mole with a scalloped or poorly defined border
C for varied color: A mole that consists of multiple shades of black, brown, white, red, and/or blue
D for large diameter: A mole that has a diameter larger than that of a pencil eraser
E for evolving: A mole that's size, shape, or color changes over time
New moles: A mole that develops, especially if it appears after age 20
Bothersome moles: A mole that bleeds, itches, or is painful
