Mole: Please see your doctor ASAP. He/she may refer you to a dermatologist. This will keep you safe and give you peace of mind. Self-diagnosis is dangerous. Peace and good health.

Go see a: Dermatologist. He can look at it and decide if enough tissue is available for biopsy or wait several weeks and then reevaluate.
