    Is hair growth a sign of a healthy mole or at least one where cancerous cells have not yet invaded deeply thus killing the ability for the hair to grow?  I've read differing things online and thought I'd ask the experts!

      Hair growth is not a reliable indicator of anything melanoma related.  Change is the most important factor and only a biopsy can give you a diagnosis.
