Q about a mole on my leg

I’m 20 years old and I have this mole on my upper leg for many years, I’ve never look at it closely but I know it had been there for a long time and it’s approx the same size as now. But today I took a close look at it and found it to be a irregular-shaped mole, and I’m afraid if it’s skin cancer?
p.s I don't exposed to the Sun that much and the mole doesn’t itch, hurt or bleed and the colour is the same as my other moles(dark-brownish).

You can't tell if a mole is cancerous or anything from looking at it.
Go get it tested by a doctor.

Just because it's irregular doesn't mean it is skin cancer. Next time you're in at the doctor get them to check all your moles. And maybe take a photo of the ones you are worried about and see if they change over the period of a month or so.

Take care.
