worrisome mole
by physrx, Jun 23, 2006 12:00AM
Hi-
I've had a mole on my upper thigh for long time (brownish color, ~5mm, slightly raised). In recent yrs it has lost pigment in the center. I don't believe it has changed recently (I think it's pretty much looked the same for a while), but I can't be sure. The change may have occurred while I was pregnant, but again I'm not sure.
I have a derm appt, but they can't see me for 10 weeks! Do you think this is something worrisome that warrants more immediate attention?
Thanks for your help!
