Posted on Thu, 16 Jan 2014

Question: This question is about a mole on my daughters' hand. This tiny mole on her hand seemed normal until yesterday morning when she awoke to discover a small lump under the mole and bruising surrounding the mole in a circular shape. My daughter is 21 years old. Could this be a melanoma? My daughter has a tiny mole on her hand and until yesterday it seemed normal enough. She awoke with a small lump underneath the mole and bruising around the mole. What could be wrong?
