I'm really concerned about a new mole I found behind my left ear. I saw a dermatologist and she told me its not cancerous, thankfully. She gave me a mole removal cream, and I've been using it for a few days now. It looks like it's getting smaller, which is a relief, but it barely itches. Im still worried if there's any risk of cancer. Also, if it completely fades away, should I still be worried down the line?
