New large mole on breast
My mother recently has developed a new large blackish looking mole on the side of her breast. I would like her to get it tested as my family has a history of cancer. As a first step, should we see a general physician? Not too sure who is the right doctor who we should start a check up with first. Appreciate your advice, thanks
