Does this mole look normal???
Hi there. My daughter had this mole removed on Friday. It was on the bottom of her foot. No significant changes. Has grown about 2 mm in 2 years as her foot has grown. I am nervously awaiting the biopsy. How does it look to you???

Hello,
Although chances of a melanoma are less from these symptoms but nothing can be said without a biopsy skin. Melanomas are usually >6 mm in size, with irregular borders, asymmetrical and dark in color. If the mole shows any of these characteristic features, then it needs to be evaluated.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
