Suspicious mole?
I have always had a mole on my inner thigh, which over the last couple of years has got bigger (not so much raised, just wider). I noticed a couple of months ago that it had scabbed over, possibly because I had caught it without noticing. I didn't really think too much of it but recently it happened again and once the scab came off I noticed the inner centre became a pale pink colour. I haven't been to the doctors about it as it is in a really awkward/slightly embarrassing place.
Thanks
Thanks

Hi, how are you everyone?
I have suspicious mole on my left forehand. It is about 5-6mm on diameter and has two colors. Brownish and dark brown. It seems to be dry on touch and shiny. I have plenty of moles around all my body. I am a bit worried about it. Can you tell me please where can I find some advice?

I think if there is any suggestoin of a mole changing shape size or colour then you bneed to get it reviewed by a health care professional
