Could you look at my mole and give your suggestion?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have a mole that has grown a lot and has changed its shape and color. It has also developed a lot of different shaped blood vessels inside it. I have taken a few good images showing the mole close and the various blood vessels, which are running though it. I am now worried after searching in the online that my images do look very alike to the malignant lesions. Could you look at them and tell me what you think?

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Yes, you need to consult a dermatologist as the features are suggestive of malignancy. The final diagnosis could only be made on histopathological examination, which is considered as a gold standard. Many times, benign lesion also has the appearance of malignancy. But, if on histopathological examination no malignancy gets detected, then there is no need to get panic. Excisional biopsy is not only diagnostic, but therapeutic too.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
