What Does A Brown Mole On Cheek Indicate?
Question: I have an oblong brown mole on my left cheek that is surrounded by a halo of lesser colour. Is this dangerous?
Brief Answer:
Need to see a dermatologist
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
I have seen the attached picture.
You seem to have developed a mole over the face .
Owing to differential colours ,the lesion surely needs to be assessed by a magnifying lens or a dermoscope by a trained dermatologist so as to see if it is just a naevus or a seborrheic keratosis or if there is anything to be worried about.
So I would surely advice you to get it checked by a nearby dermatologist.
