Black Spots On Head. Is It Cancer?

Hello, I have had around 4 black spots on my head and was wondering if it is normal to have them or I should get it checked in case of cancer or something. I have had it for over 2 years but i feel like they are growing for some reason. I saw it in the mirror today and was concerned. Please let me know what you think. Thanks in advance

Black spots or moles are alarming if they start to change in size, shape or get inflamed. The best strategy would be to get a biopsy done. This is usually done as an outpatient procedure. The pathologist will then look at it and let you know the results in a few days. in most cases, the biopsy procedure is curative.
