29 year old female. i have a small mole that has appeared within the past month. i first thought it was a bruise. it is flat. now it is scaly feeling and has more than one color in it. should i be concerned?

Skin lesion: A mole that changes color or enlarges should be checked by your doctor to rule out skin cancer. Always wear sunscreen at least SPF 30, even in the winter and use moisturizer with sunscreen on your face.
