Learn your ABCD's: Probably isn't but could be a melanoma...Melanomas are screened by the abcd's: a-asymmetry; b-irregular borders; c-different colors; d-diameber >6mm (size of pencil eraser). If you notice a mole with these characteristics, get it checked out asap. If it is growing, ulcerating, bleeding, or otherwise changing, get it seen soon for evaluation and possible biopsy. Best wishes.

Have it checked: It's impossible to say whether this is something to be concerned about. However, new moles should be checked out by a dermatologist to ensure that there is no need for concern. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen weber, M.D. Lone tree facial plastic surgeon.
