I know we should have all moles that appear to be changing or growing checked by a Dr. and I am. I'm waiting on my biopsy results..I guess my question is for Leo or anyone else...can moles change and still be beign? Or are all changing moles automatically and surely Melanoma or pre-cancerous?

Hello,

Not really, moles can definitely change and grow and not be cancerous. But as you know, the only way to tell is to take it off and look at it under the miscroscope. Also, in many cases the biopsy itself is the treatment, so nothing has to be done further.

best regards,
Leo
