i have a small flat mole that appeared on my face. i remember my grandfather had them and he was ethnic. i dont think he had them when he was younger. i think he developed them later. i know he had skin cancer, but not until much later. the moles that appeared at first werent cancerous.
i had a couple drs look at the mole. but they gave it a visual inspection. they said that i should keep an eye on it. they seemed concerned, but didnt test it.
im worried because i dont have a mole like this anywhere on my body. how common are moles that appear with age in ones 30s?
are all new moles potentially cancerous? how can they tell if its cancerous or not?
it is not an ugly mole or anything. its is just flat and very dark.
basically is it okay that it appeared on my face? is it common. does it necessarily mean its cancerous? is it normal to get moles as one ages? i dont know of anyone else who got moles as they aged, except my grandfather.
