Signs to Watch For:

1. Asymmetry:

If one half of the mole does not match the other.

2. Border:

If the edges of the mole are irregular, blurred, or ragged.

3. Color:

If the color of the mole is not uniform and contains shades of tan, brown, black, blue, white, or red.

4. Diameter:

If the mole is larger than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser) or is growing in size.

5. Evolution:

Any change in size, shape, color, or elevation, or any new symptom such as bleeding, itching, or crusting.

When to Seek Medical Advice:

If your mole exhibits any of the changes mentioned above, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional, preferably a dermatologist. They can conduct a full examination and, if necessary, perform a biopsy to determine if the mole is benign or malignant.

Annual skin checks by a professional are recommended as a preventive measure, especially if you have a history of prolonged sun exposure, past sunburns, or a family history of skin cancer.

While a crusty mole might be benign, it is important to be vigilant about changes occurring in your skin. Monitoring moles and other skin lesions is a key component of your health routine. Don’t hesitate to consult with a healthcare provider if you notice anything unusual about your moles or if you have any concerns about potential skin changes. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment of skin cancers.
