Thanks for your question. The only way you will know for certain is if you seek a professional medical opinion - as soon as possible. This is really not something you want to wait on.

In the meantime, you can read about birthmarks and moles on our site in Check a Symptom. You may also be interested in learning more from our Skin Cancer Basics material.

Hope this helps. All the Best, sue (moderator)
