What Could A Flat Mole With A White Ring Around On Back Signify?
I hav been tanning n tan bed for yrs. I'm 35. With 3 kids. I only tan during summer months. This yr iv laid n tanbed about 7 times. And iv noticed the flat mole n center of my back under bra strap has developed a white ring around it. Should I b concerned?

Hi
You seem to have developed a skin naevus called halo naevus.
This is basically a totally benign skin lesion.
There is pigmentation in the centre and surrounding it, there is a whitish area.
Although it is a completely harmless skin lesion but in case you want to be completely sure , you can see a nearby dermatologist for confirmation of the diagnosis .
You can also look for images of the same on net so as to be sure.
Hope it helps
