Avoid sun: You should avoid sun exposure, especially to the mole. If it has not changed over two years, you can keep a watchful eye on it. If you notice any change, see your doctor for evaluation and may be excision and examination of the lesion by a pathologist.

OK: If worried, see a dermatologist. Do not become a recluse. Unless you are a vampire you should get out. Protect yourself from burning in the sun. Look for shade, especially in mid-day. Hat. Glasses. Clothing. Sunscreen.
