The only time to be concerned about a mole is if it changes size, shape, and/or color. Also if it bleeds or is painful, that might be a cause to be concerned as well.

No, not all moles are cancerous, most of them aren't. If there are any changes in the mole, this would indicate that a problem is developing, such as cancer. (But not necessarily).

My dad died of Melanoma Skin Cancer when I was 13. I am 21 now and I have moles every where. Not every mole is cancerous. There are ABC's of what cancerous moles may look like. If you are really concerned or are a red head like myself, I would make a visit to the Dermatologist. They have a better know on what to look for and it is kind of reassuring to get expert advice. Mind you, I had to be completely naked besides a paper jacket thing...interesting. But hey, good luck in whatever you decide to do.

not all moles are cancerous... here are some signs which will help you detect whether a mole is cancerous or not.. An existing mole changes in color or shape, or begins to bleed or ooze. Sores that heal very slowly may appear on the mole. Moles that have become unusually large. 'Blood blisters' especially under toenails, which are not the result of a blow. The appearance of a new irregular mole (it is quite normal for people to develop new moles from time to time until they reach their 40s. There is no need to worry unless the color of the new mole is uneven, or its edges are ragged). If you are in any doubt, ask your GP to check. Any unusual sore, lump or blemish lasting more than a few weeks. Areas of skin that become scaly, itchy, tender or red, or areas that ooze, bleed or become crusty. http://www.skin-cancer-mole-picture.com/
