Hi,
I noticed a raised mole near my lip about a week ago, not to high, just raised. I went back and looked at some pictures, and in my older pictures I could see the mole, however in the newer pictures there was nothing there. I started to pick at the mole and now it is no longer raised but the color has faded from brown to light brown, and it has gotten smaller. I have been putting some cream on it if it matters. I also want to ask about a mole I have near my stomach behind the mole there is a red spot, is this something to worry about? Should I have it looked at? Finally, I had a mole removed about one year ago on my foot (by a Dermatologist). There has been a gray spot around the area ever since, however I have now noticed a small brown mark starting to arise, is this normal?
Thanks for any info

Hi,
I had a mole removed last August, by a dermatologist, and it seems that there is a faint grey spot, kind of like a very light scar. This is probably normal, and my mole was tested and came back normal.
Maybe the mole near your lip, isn't really a mole - especially since it seemed to go away for a while and now it's getting smaller again.
Has the mole on your stomach always looked the same? Change is what to look for in a mole.
If your concerned, I would have them checked out - maybe go back to the derm that removed the mole on your foot, and have them all checked out.

Good Luck
