Asked By:sierra.charli3 in London, GB

I have this mole on my thigh, it looks very unusual to the ones I can find online. Is it normal? Should I remove it? It's 0.5cm diameter, slightly elevated, with a pink center that sinks in. It appeared about 2 years ago, it hasn't grown much since, at least not at noticeable rate.
