My husband’s black mole

Published by

My husband has a black painless mole on his thigh that has grown in size over the years. He had wanted to cut it off once but I advised him not to. Is there a cause for alarm and can it be removed?

Even though you did not indicate your husband’s age, it is important for any abnormal growth on the body especially one that has been growing in size over the years to be removed and sent to the laboratory for examination. This way, the fear of the mole causing any problem in the future will be finally resolved.
