    Hello all I am Samuel i'm 22 years old and recently the mole on my chest began to fatten up and become 3-dimensional rather than flat and had a black circle appear on it. Could I have this condition?

    Here is photos of my mole:

    Also to note: I was in a hot country back in August and got sun burnt on my back. I am also very pale.

    Thank you!

      No one will be able to tell you if the mole is melanoma or not by looking at an image. Make an appointment with a dermatologist and have them examine it.
