Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter noticed a mole that is red around the edges and the skin underneath is a little hard/swollen. I am going to try to make a dermatologist appointment tomorrow but she is very concerned tonight. Other than the redness around the mole, I don t notice any other symptoms. It is symmetrical, even and pretty small.
As per your complain you have problem of change a consistency and colour of mole that may be because of growth of it.
Consult a dermatologist for further diagnosis. Physical examination of lesion give more idea. Malignant change also lead to change consistency and color of mole.
I hope my guidance helpful to you.. Take care. Thank you.
