Hi,
It may be compound melanocytic Nevus. Kindly avoid pulling of hair on the mole. Also tell the barber to take safety while trimming the hairs. There may be mild infection leading to pain. Take a short course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs. There is no need to worry. Regular check up by your doctor is needed. If there is change in surface of the mole..consult the dermatologist immediately.
Thanks..
