Answers:
Anytime that a mole changes shape, color, or size on your body, you need to see a Dermatologist (or your regular doctor) because this could be the beginning sign of Melanoma!. If Melanoma isn't caught on time, the 5 year survival rate is less than 15%!. Tell your parents that they need to educate themselves and start acting like parents!. Parents watch out for their children's health!. It's always better to be safe than sorry and you can show them this, too!Www@Answer-Health@Com
as you grow, so are the chances your mole will also!.!.!.if it has changed shape or color, becomes swollen or has some type of discharge then you would certainly need to see a Dr!. I would trust your parents!.!.!.they are aware of the mole and can determine when it has "unusual" changes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
sometimes it can mean nothing is it also changing colors!? this could be cause for concern!. i had one that grew then got infected and in the end i spent over 100 dollars for nothing just keep an eye on it if it starts to hurt or change colors you need to go to the doc for a biopsy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It might not be anything!. People tend to have moles all over there body, anywhere on their body!. I am not a doctor, so I would suggest you go see a skin doctor about that!.
