Small mole on a raised bump in armpit area?

Question

I noticed a few months ago that I had a small raised mole while I was showering and paid no attention it. Now I've noticed that the bump is a little grey in color and there's a new smaller mole next to the already existing one. Should I be worried? I'm 19 years old and have no health problems that I know of.

It is hard to say what that lesion is from the picture. My best guess is traumatized hair follicle that has collected some blood. I would recommend you see a doctor and get his or her opinion.  Be Well.

Since there have been changes, I recommend following up with your cosmetic dermatologist. Moles can be removed with laser, radiowave or shave. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
