What to watch for: It is advisable to observe changes in its size, shape, color, or borders, as well as itching or bleeding.
When to have it checked? When a mole changes over time, looks different from the others, or appears recently in adulthood.
Which specialist evaluates it? The dermatologist is the one who examines moles and determines whether they require follow-up; in the face of any change that stands out, the prudent thing is to show it to a skin professional.
