Can Normal Moles Have Two Color?

C – Colour:
A mole that has more than one colour needs to be evaluated by a doctor. There are some exceptions to the rule, as the mole can be two shades of brown (light brown and dark brown), but that should also be evaluated by a trained professional.

Is it normal to have a mole with two colors?

Multiple colors are a warning sign. While benign moles are usually a single shade of brown, a melanoma may have different shades of brown, tan or black. As it grows, the colors red, white or blue may also appear.

Can normal moles be different shades?

Color: Normal Mole

Normal mole color should be the same throughout and should not have shades of tan, brown, black, red, white or blue. Many benign lesions do not meet these criteria, but that determination is best left to your dermatologist.
