When you have a suspicious mole, this may be a cause for concern. An abnormal mole could be a sign of skin cancer. To determine this, a consultation with a dermatologist for further evaluation to determine if the mole is benign or malignant is recommended.

Indicators of an abnormal mole include asymmetry, an uneven border, a change in color, a diameter of greater than 6mm, and evolution of the appearance of the mole.

It is always better to be safe than sorry, so when in doubt about a mole on your body, contact a dermatologist to find out if it is a problem.
