Mole on vulva. Cancerous? Should I have it checked? (Photo)

Question

I have a mole on the inner, upper left side of my vulva, next to the clitoris. Could this be cancerous? Should I have it checked?

Leo Kim, FRACS(Plast), MS(Plast), MBBS(Hons) · Answer

Should have an overall skin check with a dermatologist and examine the lesion under dermatoloscope, a specialised light that allows closer examination of the lesion. If in doubt, excisions biopsy to determine the pathology and proceed with appropriate treatment thereafter.

I would suggest visiting a doctor to have it assessed. They will do a biopsy if they are concerned about cancer.
