Depends: If by "treat it like a pimple" you mean apply warm compresses and otherwise leave it alone, yes. But don't go squeezing or trying to pop anything on a mole. If it gets larger or itchy or red, get an examination please.

Hi, I have a raised red bump on my shoulder that looks like something between a mole and a pimple, but it's not sore and nothing happens if I squeeze it. It's been there for a few months and seems to vary in swollenness from time to time. ?
