      No idea how long it's been there It's under 4mm I think. The problem I have is I can't afford to shell out for s Biopsy without sacrifice so please looking at the mole is it safe to watch and wait? Or because it's new should I remove it?

          Do you have a history of Melanoma? I would have a dermatologist look at it to be on the safe side. They xan help you decide next steps.

                I've not had Melanoma before.

                 

                Do you think it looks suspicious enough to get it checked?

                    I think you’ve already answered your own question by being concerned enough to post here. Does it look different than other moles on your body? Is it the “ugly duckling?” I just had a similar experience and went to the Derm. last Thursday to have a new, dark, asymmetrical mole removed because it was clearly atypical. No results yet, hoping for the best. I felt it was important to go because it cpuld mean the difference between catching it early and not which is potentially deadly. I was not willing to take that chance.

                      If I had it s long time I wouldn't be concerned as I don't know what to look for. I'm not sure if it looks atypical or not?

                                  New and like your other moles is not concerning.  New and different from your other moles is suspicious.
