Hello,

You have a mole on the top right side of the head, not all moles are skin growths made of melanocytes. However, any mole that appears anywhere in your body should be monitored for changes that can be early warning signs of melanoma, a type of skin cancer. Get a biopsy done so that if needed treatment can be started at the earliest. Early detection and treatment can lead to better outcomes. Stay away from addictions if any. Avoid stress and anxiety.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
