Hello,

I can understand your concern mole on back which is more than 6mm. You have not told us any history of melanoma in any of your family member or relatives.

Usually most of the moles are benign and small moles are of normal in nature without a tendency to get converted into melanoma. A mole of 6mm or larger si always to be excised and if thre are any features such as itching or burning or pain in any mole or irregular borders in your mole or any change in colors then should be seen with caution.

You can send a good resolution picture at below link so that I can analyze it better and guide you accordingly:

All the best.
