a new mole
Hi i have recently developed a red spot in the last month on my thigh. It started out as a tiny little dot that looked like it could have been an ingrown hair, but now looks like a red mole it has doubled in size since i first saw it. It is more of a light red pink lkight brown in colour and doesnt have a definite edge more of a blur. It is also a little raised only enough to feel it when running a finger over it. Is this something i should be visiting by gp for

Sometimes taking a photo to compare your red spot from one month to the next is handy, too .. takes some of the guesswork out of it's change. But if it changes dramatically in between definitely see your doc I'd suggest.
