Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems that an 8-year-old child has a mole on their neck, and this mole should not be a melanoma. For melanoma, clinical symptoms include blistering, itching, tenderness, and ulcers. The definitive diagnosis of melanoma mainly relies on visual examination. Moles with irregular color or shape, or those that have recently decreased in size or changed in shape, should be paid attention to. This one should be a very normal mole.
