Suspicious moles/markings

2021-12-23 07:50:02
Hi sir/madam, I have two markings, one on my upper right thigh and the other on my right toe nail. I have looked through my old pics and could see the nail one in pics upto 4 years back (have no pics showing that area older than that). Not sure how long the thigh mole is present as I have no old pics of it. I noticed the thigh mole around 5 months back, not sure for how long it was present, started closely observing it for about 1.5 months back and in that there was no changes in it. I had also shown the thigh me to 2 dermatologist near me, both wasn't concerned about but they did only a visual exam without dermatoscope. They both said to just observe it for few months. I have no other symptoms. I am worried about both these, and need advice on whether I should get it checked in detail/biopsied. Please help.

A suspicious mole grows irregularly, discharges blood. Pigmented bands on nails also known as melanonychia can be due to trauma and many other dermatological conditions. If pigmenatation is extending beyond the nail to the skin then it can be examined. However, you can wait and watch for the above changes or go for a dermatological examination for proper diagnosis.
