maybe not alarmed but concerned. any time that you have a mole that is changing. gotten darker bigger uglier or whatever it would be in your best interest to see a dermatologist. the concern of course would be that a benign mole has become more suspicious of a skin cancer. often the only way that a dermatologist can be sure is to biopsy or remove it. many moles make innocent benign changes but unfortunately so do become malignant. rather than be alarmed or lose any sleep see a specialist or your primary care medical provider to be sure.
i have a flat mole that has grown and gotten darker 1 yr later that same mole is now translucent should i be alarmed?
