Hello everone :).

Ok..Here is my issue. I've had a mole on the side of my face, which is not very large, and rather flat...So it isn't too bothersome. Anyway, i've had this on my face for atleast 2 years, probably more...But it's been no trouble, and isn't distracting. Anyway, today I noticed that it is red(ish)...Sore, and some-what 'poofs' out on my cheek. My mom was bothering me about it...She is really the paranoid type...But its rubbing off on me...And now I am nervous. I have heard that moles can become cancerous...So I did want to get an opinion.

Should I be worried?

Really, right now it looks much like a pimple...Which is odd. Is it possible that I have gotten a pimple right on the mole? Can that happen? Maybe it's just irritated from scratching it? Should I wait it out a few days?

I hope someone can give me some insight to this problem.

Thank you.
