I have a strange mole

I have a light brown mole that's on the lower, inner thigh of my right leg and I've had it since I was a child with no changes. It is 3/8 th of an inch by 1/4th of an inch and while I was pregnant, it split in the middle and got some white, raised areas. they feel like medium sized pimples that will not go away, and that was 3 years ago. Tonight, I noticed that I got a few more there. I din't know when, but it was within the last week or two. I also have a very dark mole on my bottom that was a scab like blod blister that appeared during my first pregnancy, that I thought must have happened from pushing in the delivery room and didn't notice it till two or three days after the birth. It looked like a bubble of purle, thick blood, and was just like a blood blister. I gave it some time to heal and then it dried up enough to peal it off and I did, and there saw dark pink skin under it, then a few weeks later, I noticed an almost black, mole there about 2/3 the size of a pencil eraser. It hasn't changed at all since it appeared 3 years ago. Do you think these are cancer ? If so, what kind and how much is the treatment? Thanks for your help.

pregnancy can cause all sorts of skin changes. The black one doesn't sound worrysome due to it not changing but you should show a doctor any new moles, just when you're there for something else. I got new moles when pregnant but most got a lot lighter afterwards and some even disappeared.
The other one doesn't sound like a typical mole. White pimple like things on a mole sounds a bit more like a wart. Check out some pictures of senile warts on line and see if that looks like it. Would you describe it as "pasted on" your skin. They can change and grow "horns" so maybe that is what you are describing. they are completely harmless by the way.

Take care.
