Does Sudden Appearance Of A Mole In The Arm To Be Worried?
I have a brown flat mole on my arm that just showed up quickly...out of nowhere. Border is regular. Color is uniform. Symmetrical. Does not itch. It is about 6mm. I am fair skinned with many many moles. I am 50 years old. Is this worrisome? It does not look like any of the cancer pictures that I have seen online.

Hi,
Definitely not. You need not worry at all. They are just melanocytic nevi. They are benign and harmless, so no need to get any treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
