Does an increase in mole size indicate melanoma?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for the query.

It is good that you are observing the mole. Please continue to observe. Indications for melanoma would be any asymmetry, color variations in mole, changes in borders or irregular, lesion starts growing. In my opinion, the attached photo (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) looks healthy for now. Anyway, you can consult your doctor or dermatologist. They may do a dermatoscopy. If required they may do a biopsy.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for the follow-up query.

One darker part of the mole has probably been there since the beginning. This is part of the mole since the beginning and is normal. There are no other variations or irregularities. In my opinion, it looks healthy. But please also consult your dermatologist or doctor for a dermatoscopic examination.

I hope this helps.
