Unlikely at your age: Is this an area where there is a lot of sunlight? Does it have irregular margins and variegated color.? Are you picking at it so it bleeds? At your age a melanoma is a rare possibility but an irritated mole is much more likely. If you have any doubt- see a dermatologist for analysis. And consider that since you are fair skinned, that sun screen or less time in the sun would be wise.
