Symptom #7: Firm to the Touch
Normal moles are usually limp or give easily when pressed on. Moles, birthmarks, or pigmented areas that are elevated and firm to the touch are sites that you should be concerned about as nodular melanomas are often firm and not moving when pressured using a finger.
To monitor your moles, you can check it by pressing on the site with the finger. If you feel a hard or firm site, you should ask your doctor to evaluate the lesion.
