Hi! I've recently found a new mole on my right hand located on the knuckle of my ring finger. It's somewhat lighter in pigment than my other moles but other than that it's not assymetrical, bleeding, scarring, etc. It seems pretty normal and might just be a new mole coming out. It seems that I'm a pretty at-risk candidate, though. I am Caucasian, have naturally light skin with lots of moles (dark brown in pigment), and I've been exposed to the sun frequently throughout my life. I'm 17 now, I don't develop any freckles, and I have dark eyes and hair. The mole doesn't hurt or act abnormal in any way, but the lighter brown color just raised my suspicion. (At first I thought it was a small bruise.) Should I get it checked out??
