Normal moles have smooth surface, well-defined border, symmetrical in shape and do not have more than one color. Moles that look funny and odd among the group deserve special diagnosis that will determine if there are cancerous cells in the mole. If any mole in the group looks different from the rest you should see a health care provider (dermatologist).

The only way to prove of any risk is after the biopsy test is completed.
