You should definitely see a dermatologist to have your mole examined. Not all changes are necessarily bad, but it should be checked.
To be safe, you should be carefully evaluated by aboard certified dermatologist. 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 extremelysimple five minute procedure for a dermatologist to remove the mole usingeither a "punch" or a "shave" biopsy which typically leavesa minimal scar. The mole can then be checked microscopically for reassurance.
When moles change size they need to be examined in-person by a trained professional. There does not have to be itching or burning present. It is best to make an appointment and see someone for an in-person exam and proper diagnosis.
