Hello
Most moles are benign and should be looking for changes in the mole. The changes in the mole like increased in the size,abnormal surface, undefined margins,bleeding, painful and numbness.
As you are having numbness it is better to remove it and send it for biopsy and confirm what exactly it is.
So you need to consult your dermatologist for further examination and procedure of biopsy.
Thank you.
