Hello
I went through your history. Most moles are benign. One must always look for changes when it may become dysplatic.
Thet are
Atypical surface
Contour rough
Diameter increased
Bleeding
Since you have noticed bleeding it is better to remove it and send it for biopsy
I hope it is very clear
Have a good day
