Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have checked the attached photos (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There is nothing to worry about, the mole is small in size with regular border and symmetrical. Also, the color is homogeneous (even if it is dark). All these features indicate that the mole is benign with no more further investigations required. Best wishes.
