        Thank you for your reply! I saw that the doctor thought it was a sebhorrheic keratosis for you too. Was it big? How long did you have it?

          OMG, I'm reading that redness can be where the mole penetrated the skin. Mine had a dark red ring. I'm so upset.

            I've read that small moles have come back as advanced stage and maybe I was misdiagnosed last year and I had it for so long?

              Thanks for your reply. Can a small, raised dark mole with a red ring be melanoma? The dermatologist wanted to remove it after viewing it through a dermascope. Can they usually tell what it is by looking through it? I thought nodular because I read that they can be small. Mine was small and raised, that's what worries me. I'm having such horrible anxiety right now.

                Thank you so much for responding. So, the diagnosis last year of the sebhorrheic keratosis was actually by a PA in a derms office. This dermatologist says it doesn't look like it 🙁 that's what I'm worried about. The PA assured me it was nothing.
