See derm yearly: If you have moles that are concerning, I recommend seeing a dermatologist yearly. Many skin cancers can be caught and removed early. Pain is an uncommon symptom related to moles, and is not immediately concerning, but only a thorough history and physical exam can help us know for sure.
