I have a mole on my back.It has been a normal mole.Then here within the last week it is starting to turn red?

Question:

Answers:
Get it checked by a doctor, the sooner the better. It could be a sign of cancer.

The sooner these things are diagnosed, the less time they have to spread and become serious.

I copied the section below from a paragraph within the source webpage reflected under this answer. It concerns the skin cancer called melanoma:

The most common symptom in the early stages of melanoma is a change in a mole you may have had since childhood. The mole may:

* get larger than a pencil eraser
* become darker, lighter, or patchy; change color from brown to blue, black, red, or white
* develop an irregular or dark spreading border
* itch
* turn into a scab and not heal for weeks
* become lumpy (seem to grow thicker)
* bleed for no apparent cause or just bleed easily
* become scaly or ulcerlike.

Don't delay. Go to the doctor TOMORROW to get it checked!

Good luck!

Other Answers:
What are you asking in your question? It doesn't really say. Well if you are asking what to do I think that if it gets to be any worse you should see a doctor. Like the ones who treat them, because if it gets worse thats not good.

get it biopsied

I would say to go see a doctor to make sure it's not cancerous.
