Dermatologist: Yes, see a dermatologist about this. He can decide if it needs treatment, removal, or can just be watched.

Mole: Yes, you need to see dermatologist. You can not see the mole yourself due to location and can not assess changes. Physician will evaluate and if necessary will biopsy the lesion to rule out cancer.
