Suggest Treatment For A Mole With Irregular Edges In A Child
my six year old son had a mole that looked normal until a small pimple came up under it. he would not let me touch it. A few days later it opened and was oozy and then scabbed over. The scab came off this morning and under it is still the brownish colored mole - now with irregular edges. Should I start with the pediatrician or go straight to a dermatologist

Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic forum.
With the present scenario, it is better to get a biopsy done to rule out any significant pathological changes..a dermatologist can guide you better.
Take care. Thank you
