New pink mole on hand?

[Hypo]

Two days ago I thought I had a spot on my hand but it looks like a little pink mole.

It is perfectly round, perfect colour etc. about 2mm big at most.

Do I need to worry? I am 32 years old.

Picture here, it's a close up so looks bigger here.

My hands don't look this old either.

Looks normal to me :)xx

It's funny how it just came up.

One day it wasn't there; then it was :)

If it just came up suddenly, it's just some kind of localised infection or inflammation - maybe a reaction to a tiny insect you never even saw. It should go down in a day or two - if not, see your GP.

Are moles that come up suddenly dangerous?

I thought all moles kind of just came up suddenly. I have never seen a mole progress, if that makes sense.

Hypo, I was just wondering the same. I have loads that have appeared suddenly over the last month. I put it down to being outside in the sunshine. I have a bigger one that's arrived on the back of my calf that I was worrying about yesterday. (Didn't notice it until I was shaving my legs) but if course I suddenly feared the worst!!!!

It looks completely harmless to me (But I'm not medical professional). But I vow to the NHS mole checker:
A (Asymmetric) - is the mole NOT symmetric?
B (Border) - is it ragged or blurred?
C (Colour) - is it mutliple shades?
D (Diameter) - is it more than 6mm wide?
E (elevation) - is the mole raised?

I always say to people that if you have a lump, bump or changed mole that does not look normal to YOU then get it checked. Doctors are more than happy to take a look at a mole and say it's normal.

Hi

If you are worried, please get it checked by your GP, you will only worry if you don't.

I'm not too worried.

I mean, I don't like how it just appeared but I guess all moles suddenly appear at some point.

If it was one I had had for ages I wouldn't worry, especially as pink ones are very rarely dangerous even if they are cancer, it is it being new that concerned me.

I have been to the GP so much over moles, that I vow to not go until something actually needs checking and my husband thinks this is something that isn't, but I am not so sure.
