Hi,
Mole does not become cancer most of the times. However, if the lesion is dry, raised or has changed color it's always important to be seen by a doctor.
I would suggest you should see a dermatologist who would see the mole. Most of them are not cancerous but sometimes it may be which is quite treatable, if on time. So please see your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
