My baby has a dark mole on his finger. he has always had it, but lately he has been crying and touching it like he is in pain. should i be worried?

Have it checked: Although it is extremely rare for a mole to be dangerous prior to puberty, it is reasonable to have the mole checked and monitored. If the mole appears irritated, it can be removed if necessary to help with symptomatic relief. Consult a dermatologist to evaluate and treat this issue.

Mole: It would be exceedingly rare for a mole to cause pain or a problem for a baby, especially if the mole itself has not changed in color, size or thickness. However, that does not mean that your baby is not in pain. I suspect there is something else bothering your baby. Have your pediatrician check the finger. Pain can be caused by many things and your baby could have pain from something else.
