I have a mole slightly bigger than a pencil eraser on my back and is discolored: edges are tan then fades to white and has black center-if not black, very dark brown. It just recently got discolored, I had the mole for quite a while. It doesn't really injured, only if you push on it. It has a pretty consistent circular shape with one side slightly bigger than the other. Mother had skin cancer-non malignant, which has not returned. I plan on seeing the doctor when i get insurance but would like some unoffical answers.


Answer:
You’re describing several factors that are warning signs for moles to be checked out. irregular shape, changing color, uneven color, more massive diameter.

See a dermatologist and have is removed and biopsied to be sure and safe.

Good luck
