Hello,I noticed a smal lflat mole on my toe that appeared a day or two after I went tanning.

Hello Anonymous,

That newly developed mole warrants careful monitoring.
If that mole or any other moles on your body display any of the following signs, have it checked immediately by a dermatologist.
Asymmetry: One half of the mole does not match the other half
Border: The border or edges of the mole are ragged, blurred, or irregular
Color: The mole has different colors or it has shades of tan, brown, black, blue, white, or red
Diameter: The diameter of the mole is larger than the eraser of a pencil
Evolving: The mole appears different from others and/or changing in size, color, shape

Individuals who make just four visits to a tanning booth each year can increase their risk for melanoma by 11% and their risk for the two most common forms of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, by 15%.
