Yes, if ignored, it can become life-threatening. The most practical solution is to regularly check your skin for changing moles and show them to a government hospital skin specialist immediately if you notice anything unusual.

Take deep breaths and keep your mind calm. While it is a serious illness, stressing too much won't help; instead, focus on early medical intervention and positive thoughts to heal your body.

Haan na, agar dhyan nahi diya toh ye sachme bohot dangerous ho sakta hai. Isliye doctors hamesha bolte hain ki moles ko ignore mat karo aur jaldi treatment shuru karo.

This sounds really scary and I am quite worried. Does it only become dangerous if it is left untreated for a very long time, or can it happen quickly?

I ignored a dark spot on my foot for almost a year, and by the time I went to the doctor, it required a major surgery. Please do not delay; if you see any new or changing skin spot, get it checked by a specialist immediately.
