Mole Seems To Have Increased In Size. Should I Get It Checked?
I have had a mole looked at on my face about a year ago now and was referred to a dermatologist where the mole was then further looked at and i was told it was nothing to worry about and that the mole may have been traumatised in some way, since then the mole has been fine until about a month ago the mole had rised again from where i may have caught it and it hasnt gone down since, do you think it wise that i get the mole looked at again?

HI,
Thanks for writing to use.
Any change in the size, color, appearance, symmetry, border of mole warrants for an examination to rule out malignant melanoma. Similarly scabbing or bleeding from mole requires an examination too.
Please meet a dermatologist nearby for proper examination.
Hope that helped.
