In most cases, a red mole is a benign neoplasm called a hemangioma. However, it should be taken into account that it can degenerate into a malignant one.

If moles begin to appear, change color or size, then it is important to consult a doctor.

The fact is that such changes may indicate the beginning of a malignant process.

But in order for the diagnosis to be accurate, doctors must conduct an examination.

Dermatologist Maria Avetisova said this, writes the publication Izvestia .

The doctor noted that some other signs may also indicate the onset of a malignant process.

For example, if a mole loses its clear boundaries, bleeds, crusts and ulcers appear on it.

Avetisova noted that if there are no signs, but the neoplasms are still bothersome, it is still advisable to consult a dermatologist.
