Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

A change in the shape or size of the mole is a reason for concern. This could include possible trauma, cancer and melanoma. The exact diagnosis can be determined only after complete examination and investigations. I would suggest that you consult your primary care physician at the earliest and get yourself completely evaluated.

I hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer if you have no further queries.

Regards
