Brief Answer:
Not a cause for concern.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and have checked the attached images. The red mole is actually a hemangioma. It is formed due to proliferation of blood vessels under the skin. It is harmless and is not a cause of concern. Usually they gradually subside but they may persist or even increase slightly in size. In this case it is not overlying any vital structure (not considering the internal organs) and so any other ominious possibility does not arise.
You need not worry.
Feel free to ask me back in case of further queries.
