First let it heal: Then you can get a better picture of it. Remember ABCD. If it is asymmetric, with irregular borders, multiple colors, or a diameter greater than a pencil eraser, it needs to,be checked. If it is enlarging, or bleeding, or itchy, get it checked. And most of all, if you are worried, get it checked. Peace of mind is important too! Good luck!
