Please find attached a picture of the mole in my inner thigh that's gotten bigger than it used to be. I have had this since I was a child but in the past couple of years, I've noticed an increase in size. Should I be worried?

Answer: Skin evaluation Thank you for your question and photograph. It's difficult to evaluate your skin through this type of forum. An in-person evaluation needs to be done where a dermatologist can examine the lesion utilizing a dermatoscope, which allows the physician to examine the mole under high magnification for any abnormal features. If any are found, then a biopsy should be done. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist to have your skin evaluate and to discuss treatment options that best suit your needs. Take care and good luck.
