Hi!nicola marron,
Welcome To HealthcareMagic forum,
The mole you have mentioned is called COMPOUND MOLE ..means which has hair growth in it.Since you are trimming it short ,probably you have got a infection underneath .Take a oral antibiotic first like azithromycin (500mg) for three days and observe..if it doesn't help then consult a dermatologist .You can get it removed with the help of laser or radiofrequency device.
take care,
Dr.chawda
