Check the mole for irregularities.
Is it an odd color? It should be brown or black.
Is it circular in shape or odd shaped? it should be round.
Monitor the mole for changes.
Have they become bigger? It should not get bigger.
If they seem normal you should be fine- just use sunscreen in the future. If they seem irregular you should see a dermatologist.
