        To me (in my non-medically trained opinion) it doesn't look like Nodular melanoma. I had Nodular melanoma and mine looked nothing like that however if you are concerned about it and it is bothering you, you need to see a dermatologist. 

        The most important thing to watch for with any mole is CHANGE! If it changes in any way, you need to be seen. My Nodular melanoma rapidly grew over the course of 6 months, that's how I knew something was wrong.

        i don't think anyone on here is going to be able to tell you if it is or isn't melanoma for certain.

              That's a very normal looking mole. Not sure why you think it is melanoma at all. If you're worried, see a dermatologist. Not much anyone here can do for you.

                    No one can diagnose melanoma from a photo. If you are worried about the mole see a dermatologist.
