What is the treatment for two perfectly symmetrical colored moles on the neck?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a teenager. Six months ago, I noticed that I had two colored moles on my neck. I immediately went to a dermatologist. She checked all my moles, and she told me that the two colored moles were perfectly symmetrical. So, she did not offer to remove it. I have learned from the internet that at my age, doctors do not really offer to remove a mole. The mole has not changed at all yet. I had blood tests six months back, and everything was normal. Do you think I have to worry or go back to the dermatologist?

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

One should always look for the following changes for melanocytic nevus:

  1. Change in color and irregular surface.
  2. Increase in the size of the lesion.
  3. Irregular margins.
  4. Inflammation.
  5. Bleeding, crusting, and oozing.

There are many types of melanocytic nevus. It is basically a benign mole, but there can be a chance of malignant transformation. The exact incidence is not known. Since there is no change in size, shape, and color of the nevus, I would not suggest a skin biopsy at present. But if there are changes, then a skin biopsy has to be considered before removal.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
