What Does A Red And Swollen Mole Indicate?

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.

Hi..

Welcome to healthcare magic.

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.
