What Does A Brown Mole On The Stomach Indicate?
I had a small tan-lite brown colored mole on side of stomach almost all my life. I am 57 now, and the past couple of years it has slowly turned into a BLACK mole, now the size of a nickel. It is rough on the outside. It isn t flaky.It has bled lightly one time.

hi sir/madam,
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
The best way to identify possibly dangerous moles is to use the ABCDEs of skin cancer, but more than anything, you need to have it looked at and a biopsy done for final diagnosis. Often moles that look suspicious aren't, and moles that appear benign are dangerous. It's best to just schedule an appointment with a dermatologist and have it removed if you are concerned, or upon inspection, the physician is concerned.
hope this was helpful.
have a healthy day.
