Hi everyone,
i have a mole for 2 months now. The size remained the same and the color also remained the same. Maybe it got a bit darker but maybe it is my imagination(can't know for sure).

The picture of the mole is here: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/46/dscf0971m.jpg/

File was to big to be uploaded in the forum.

Do you think i should be worried?

I visited my doctor and she said that it is okay. Generally if you don't see extreme irregularities its safe. Also the change in color is nothing to worry about..it is part of the normal process and its also because i have a darker pigmentation.

deporter, it's good you had it looked at. I have moles and Capillary hemangiomas that look like yours. My dermo leaves almost all of them. I had a mole become a melanoma 23 years ago, so keep an eye on yours and GET TO THE DOCTOR if it bleeds or changes in any way.

Tom, I am keeping a close eye on it(without going OCD about it :-) ). Thank you very much for the information. Early treatment is ideal when dealing with these kinds of problems.
