Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Moles are common and need not worry about it.
Development of white spots usually occur due to vitamin deficiency or fungal infection.
Observe the white spot on the mole,whether it is vanishing or growing in size
It is difficult to say without actually seeing it.
If it is not vanishing an growing in size,better consult a dermotologist.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
