Does discoloration on a mole mean I have cancer?

Barbara R.

Hi, I have noticed that my mole on my left shoulder has started to change colors, it has went from a regular brown shade to a more red shade. It does not hurt but I am worried that it could possibly be cancerous? Should I get it checked out by a doctor? It has not changed in size at all so I don't know if I should be worried.

    Hi Barbara, that does not sound fun. Does your shoulder hurt or feel any different or is it simply a colour change? I am wondering because normally if there was some sort of swelling leading to the colour change there would be a change in size as well. If I were you I would definitely consider going to a doctor, solely because it is a bit confounding. Best of luck
