Mole Change
I have had a mole on my face all my life but as I’ve got older its got bigger, sticks out more and is a lot lighter. I never get around to going to the doctors. Is it something i should get checked out?

Re: Mole Change
Hello
Thanks for your question. From your description it would seem to be a benign mole, however, if there is a history of sudden change in the mole (refer to ABCDE :https://www.ukdermatologist.co.uk/mole- ... atologist/) and risk factors such as strong personal or family history of skin cancers, fair skin that burns easily, history of immunosuppression etc, it would be advisable to get the mole checked.
Best wishes
