What Do Black Spots On The Arms And Face Indicate?
Hello. My name is Sharon. I m twenty-one and recently I noticed the development of two new moles / black spots (one on my arm and face). I have a family history of them, and heard that development is normal around this age. Should there be any point of concern of they all look similar to each other?
hello sharon, kindly describe your family history a little more also about the mole whether its growing or irregular or any change in its color. Melanoma might present with such features. however you can get a biopsy done before coming to a conclusion. hope this helps regards, dr.Purnima
