I have had a mole that has been brown in color and small. today i noticed that it has grown in size, is an irregular shape and is red. should i worry?

Traumatized mole : Have it checked by a dermatologist. It may have gotten irritated or scratched causing it to look more inflamed and may be being. But make sure it is not a cancerous mole, especially if you have history or family history of skin cancers.wear sunblock daily.
