Brief Answer:
Here is some important info which you need to know.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for writing back

Adult onset Moles are always to be checked they may be simple moles , lichenoid keratosis, menalocytic nevus. But one has to evaluate the moles which weren't there since childhood. The type of mole which is a matter of concern is a Dysplastic (precancerous mole) and a melanoma (cancer).

On just looking at the mole it is hard to determine wether a mole is cancerous or not, they have to be removed and a biopsy has to be done for evaluation.


You should keep an eye on any that look different to your other moles in particular. Dysplastic moles are moles that look different to ordinary moles and may evolve to melanomas. If you have multiple dysplastic moles you are at greater risk of melanoma.

WHAT TO LOOK AT >>If you have any moles that are larger than most, have smudgy or irregular edges, are uneven in colour or have some pinkness, you should see a doctor and get them checked. If you notice a change in colour or shape, or the mole becomes itchy, painful or starts to bleed, see a doctor immediately.

Any moles that appear newly in adulthood should be checked. The most concerning sign, however, is a changing mole. Skin Analytics' service can help you check your moles regularly and spot changing moles as soon as possible.

The most common place for a melanoma in men is the back; in women, it is the lower leg.

Remember, you should be checking regularly, and if you do have a mole you're worried about, don't delay in seeing a doctor.
Seeing your picture there doesn't seem to be any mole which can clearly show a cancer or pre cancerous mole , i believe you will have to get a checkup and a biopsy done eventually.
