Can a mole turn into cancer?
I have always had a few moles on my body, and one of them has recently started to look a bit different. My friend told me I should get it checked. Is it true that a mole can turn into cancer?

Most of the moles on our body are completely harmless, so don't worry too much. But if any mole suddenly starts changing its color, growing bigger, or itching, then you should definitely show it to a doctor. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

Yes, a mole can occasionally change and become cancerous, especially with too much sun exposure. When you go out for your daily runs or walks, make sure to wear a good sunscreen to protect your skin. If you notice any weird changes in a mole, get a dermatologist to look at it.

Haan na, some moles can turn into skin issues if we ignore them. If you see any mole changing color or bleeding, immediately show a skin specialist. Mostly it is nothing, but checking with a doctor gives complete peace of mind.

I cannot say for sure if they all do, but my sister had a mole on her shoulder that slowly changed its shape. Her doctor advised her to get it surgically removed as a precaution. It was a very simple OPD procedure and she is completely fine now.

I had a dark mole on my back that suddenly grew and got uneven borders. Got it checked by a skin doc who removed it and sent it for biopsy, but thankfully it was normal. If your mole is changing shape or color, just get it checked directly instead of overthinking.
