What Causes An Increase In The Size Of A Mole?
I have a large black mole on my leg. It has been there since I was little as a pin date and now the size if a marble, but not raised very much above the skin. When is it necessary to see a doctor? I have a few on my body that are getting close to that size, but not a dark in color...yet

Hello,
I can understand your concern for increase in size of the mole.
A marble sized mole is always to be seen with caution. I suggest you to meet a dermatologist an get the area excised. Get it analyzed histopathologically to relieve all your tensions.
All the best.
