Why Is My Mole Turning Darker?

I have a mole it's raised above my skin about an inch. It's always been a medium brown color but recently it's turning darker and now it's hurting. Skin cancer doesn't run in my family and I've never had a problem before can you tell me what it is? Please and thank you

Hi
Welcome yo HCM
That dark colour mole can be nevus but sinces its hurting you so just for precaution you can get the biopsy done of that patch to reveal your doubt of malignancy. So visit dermatologist.
Thank you
