Yes: A person can develop a mole anywhere on the body and this is normal. However, this is not to say that any mole that grows anywhere is normal. Moles should be evaluated by a dermatologist if they appear to be abnormal by the pediatrician or the parent.

Have it checked out: This is not rare but you should have this checked out by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Some of these moles in kids can be concerning and require removal. I hope this information is helpful.
