Hello and thank you for choosing EmpowHer,
August 9, 2015 - 11:17pmMoles that develop suddenly after the age of 20 have more potential of being dangerous.
So keep a sharp eye on it. You need to see a dermatologist if any of these occur:
1. if the mole gets larger diameter than a pencil eraser
2. changes color or has multiple shades of color
3. has a scalloped or poorly defined border
4. if it is painful
You can always get a check up without seeing any of these symptoms just to be on the safe side.
Faith
