Should I be worried about this mole on my butt checks? (photos)

Asked By:Darkangel6818 in McLean, VA

I have a mole on my butt cheeks that has just appeared. I noticed it probably 1 1/2 years ago. It was suddenly just there and this big. I know it wasn't there before because I have old baby pics that indicate it wasn't there. The mole is about has big as my pointer finger nail-with nails clipped. Should I have this biopsied or is it just a weird benign mole?
