What Could Raised Moles With Mild Pain Suggest?
I have had this small mole for maybe 4 or 5 years, with no pain or swelling previously. Just this morning, while showering, I noticed it hurt on just light contact (water running down my back brought pain), and was raised above the skin a few millimeters. Should I be concerned? Or could it just have been irritated by the hot water or soap? I have my annual checkup in 2 weeks, and will definitely bring it up with my doctor.If needed, I am 13 y.o., and Male

Hi,
The mole may be infected..that why you get tenderness,i.e. pain on touch.
You may consult you dermatologist. Short course of antibiotic and
antiinflammatory drugs would benefit you...ok
Thanks..
