Hi,
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic,

I have reviewed the attached photographs and the mole seems to be fine.

As long as there is no sudden change in color, shape, size, history of bleeding, oozing and itching there is no need to worry.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
Dr Asmeet

Still if you are apprehensive I would recommend you to consult doctor and go for dermoscopic examination to be absolutely sure.
