Hello I need some advice I ve had this mole since I was a kid inside my bum and its quite big and always kept an eye on it, this morning I touched the area as it was a little painful it s now raised a bit more then usuall.

Hi,
It is common for moles to become a bit enlarge or minimal colour change in pregnancy- this is because of stretching of skin and hormonal changes. But if it becomes raised, itchy, painful or margins become irregular, I strongly recommend to get examined by a dermatologist to ensure that there is no neoplastic changes, especially because its quite big.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
