What Causes Mole On The Face Of Child?
My son went to school today without a mole on his face and when I picked him up he had a large mole in his face approx 6mm. I took him to urgent care and they said they haven t seen anything like it. I have a list of dermatologists to contact. My son is 9 and he keeps looking to see if it s still there. I m concerned it could be serious.

Hi..if a mole has appeared suddenly and is increasing in size or color, that lesion definitely needs to be evaluated. The dermatologist will do a skin biopsy and histopathological examination. It can be a fungal infection or a increasing skin pigmentation.
