    I was able to take a brighter picture of the mole from previous topic

    Just wondered what if anyone had any thoughts, if it looks serious, if i need a biopsy or if it even is a mole.

      It has been said before: if you continue to come back hear seeking "thoughts" on this mole, then it's clearly bothering you enough that you should get it biopsied. Please leave forum space for those of us dealing with melanoma. We've already given you advice. Get it checked out. Nothing more anyone can say.

        Hey dude or dudette-yea it can wait. I went to mayo and a dr had cut off my mole a week earlier and said it was mr melanoma-the mitosis was 4 so it was bumping a little bit and the Mel doc said his surgery could wait a few weeks if I had a vacation coming up so if a bona fide Mel diagnosis can wait a few weeks then a suspicious mole can wait. You'll be OK I know it's tough waiting but odds are your mole is cool.
