Is Appearance Of Moles On Groan And Buttocks An Indication Of Cancer?
Hello,
I am an 18 y/o female, I have small little moles on my groan and buttox. When I got my most recent pap my doctor informed me that they were just form taking birth control in the change in my hormones. I just wanted to make sure they are not cancerous.

Hello,
You have little moles on your groin and buttocks. You have been taking birth control pills. It can be a side effect of the birth control pills that you have been taking, it can also be due to hormonal changes in you. Sometimes, infections can develop around the hair follicles of pubic hair if there is trauma from shaving or waxing or from rubbing on underwear.
Moles are commonly benign and rarely get converted into malignant tumors. However, if you have moles that are larger then 6mm with irregular borders and changing characteristics you should get repeat clinical examination done to rule out any developing malignancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
