Does this freckle look okay or should it be checked out? (photo)

Hello, it is better to get it checked out as if will be difficult for anyone to give you a confident answer just by looking at the photograph.

At first glance, from your photo, it appears that this is a benign looking mole.  Having said that, however, is the fact that the picture is not very clear.  Therefore, I recommend you see a dermatologist to be 100% sure.   Your peace of mind is very important.

It is always difficult to tell from a photograph, but since your mole has been changing, you should be safe and have all your moles carefully evaluated. Please use the ABCDE's as your guide for when to be concerned about moles: A for Asymmetry; B for irregular Borders; C for black or uneven Colors; D for Diameter greater than a pencil eraser; and E for a growth that is Evolving or changing. If necessary, it is an extremely simple five-minute procedure for a dermatologist to remove it using a "shave" biopsy which typically leaves a minimal scar. The mole can then be checked microscopically for reassurance.
