Could Painful Mole Under Forearm Be Cancerous?

I have what appears to be a mole on my left side, hidden under my forearm. I never noticed it before. It is painful to the touch and the area around it is pink. It has a pink tone, is mushroom shaped and is clear around the very border of the mole. Could this be cancerous?

Hi there.

Any more such has changed in size, shape or colour can be at risk for cancer, especially if it is aggressive looking.

I suggest you get down to a Dermatologist as soon as possible to rule out the same.

Thanking you.
