If you see the signs of skin cancer, consult your doctor immediately. It may be nothing, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Skin cancer can usually be treated successfully if caught early.

Moles are sneaky. I have some that meet a few of the above criteria, but they've been tested as being harmless. Whereas I've seen others that have some that look the same that turned out to be cancer. If you have even the slightest suspicion, get it checked.
not really helpful, have lots of "senile moles" that fit this definition but always told by Dr that are harmless. Be better to tell people to get checked regularly by Dr.
