Is A Raised, Hard Black Mole Be Of Concern?
My son was born with a black mole in the middle of his forehead like the Bindi worn by many Indian women. Today he complained that it hurts when he touches it. In 11 years, I have never felt it to be hard, but now it is a little more raised and a bit hard. What might be happening?

Hello,
From the available description, it is possible that he may have injured himself resulting in hardness and feeling pain over it. It is important to note that sudden change in size and texture often results from traumatic causes while the slow change often indicates malignancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar, Psychiatrist
