      Yes, congenital moles are higher risk. Not sure the current the current recommendation. I was taught all moles that are present at birth or appear the first 12 months of life should be removed when the child it old enough to cooperate. My son had a mole the size of a quarter on his abdomen we had excised at eight years of age.
