Customer Question

Last Tuesday I had a mole cut off that had become darker and was growing. I got a call that the lab work showed the mole was going bad and turning cancerous. He got it all, but That inspired me to check my other moles. I have one that I've had since childhood. It used to be dark, but recently has turned light. It's the opposite of the other mole. Is it anything to worry about?

Dermadoc : Hello
Dermadoc : Thanks for posting your query
Dermadoc : I can understand your concern.
Dermadoc : Its better to get that one checked as well.
Dermadoc : Any change in colour of the existing mole would warrant an evalution.
Customer : Okay. Thanks
Dermadoc : Its difficult to predict whether it would be cancerous or not. But definitely needs to be investigated.
Dermadoc : please let me know if I can address any other concern
Customer : Okay. I have several more that need to be seen I suppose. I have a brand new spot raising on my leg with not much color. Two more raised spots that are strange. I'll go back in I guess.
