Can a mole go away? i've had this mole for 2 years min. that has always looked kinda faded. it's smaller than a pencil eraser and mostly one color.

It is possible: Some moles will slowly disappear, seeming to fade away, but others will become raised far from the skin. If concerned see a dermatologist.
