Are my moles normal or suggestive of any disease?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have two moles that seem kind of weird. One is a small mole and the other one is like a wart but very small. Even though they are small, I am always thinking the worst, so probably I am overreacting. Can you help me find out if it looks bad or not?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern

The moles look pretty benign to me (attachment removed to protect patient identity). One is a flat one whereas the other one is raised. The flat one is usually a junctional nervous (superficial nevus) whereas the raised one is usually a compound nevus (has both epidermal and dermal component). Both are well defined, uniformly colored, symmetrical and small in size and look pretty benign.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Answer 2

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Yes, absolutely. All that you said and in addition, no change in the morphology of nevi over the years. All of them point towards benign nevi.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
