General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Almost every adult has a few moles. Adults who have light skin often have more moles. We may have 10 – 40 moles on our skin. This is normal. But you should be very careful when a mole starts growing in size or its color changes. Melanoma, a type of dangerous skin cancer, can grow in or near a mole. If detected early and treated, melanoma can be cured. The first sign of melanoma is often a change to a mole or a new mole on your skin. Checking your skin can help you find melanoma early. I suggest you to immediately go to a surgeon or dermatologist for further diagnosis and treatment. Probably a biopsy of mole is needed for exact diagnosis.
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
