Would you get this mole checked?

I have so many freckles on my body, along with some moles but this one seems to have got darker and is now slightly raised.
It use to be the same colour as my other freckles...

To me it looks like two have merged. However any change in a mole should be be checked, better to get the all clear than wait and find out it's cancer. For what it's worth I had a mole that started to itch. I was referred to the hospital who removed it. It was non cancerous but I know I'm at higher risk for skin cancer than most.

As above, any change in a mole should be checked. Make a GP appointment.

If you're in any doubt definitely get it checked.

GPs are used to checking moles. If you’re worried, get it looked at.
