I think by the color of the mole that you have mentioned, it does sound like it could possibly be cancerous!. I am not really knowledgeable in this area, but I have heard that dark moles, red moles and moles that morph over time are moles that need to be checked out by a doctor!. But then, this may not be a mole at all - it could be numerous other things!. Of course, next time you go to the doctor you should probably get him or her to check it out for you!. Try not to stress out about it!. Take care of yourself and remember to stay safe in the sun!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Moles will form for no reason!. It could be a broken capillary perhaps if it's more reddish than brown!. I wouldn't worry but you can show it to your doctor on your next physical!. If you notice major changes in it then you should go in specifically for it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
