Watch it: Read up on the warning signs of melanoma and ask about having it removed if it shows any of them. This site is pretty good. http://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/melanoma

Possible: if the mole has not changed in size or color and has regular even borders then likely it is not a skin cancer especially at your age. However if there is any change in color texture, irregular borders then have it looked at. Not having sun exposure is not a reason not to have a skin cancer

See a dermatologist: An exam by a skin DR is indicated. This cannot be diagnosed on the internet.
