Possible: Worrisome that mole sudden change with pain. Do not attempt to squeeze. Serious diseases such as melanoma can occur in rapidly changing mole. See your doctor before taking any additional action. Regretfully I have seen melanoma at age twenty.

Who knows: It could be anything. Any mole that changes should be evaluated by a dermatologist. Best of luck!
