changing mole on DS 4 arm?

Hello

About 4 weeks ago I noticed a raised mole/wart on my ds(4) arm. I took him to the gp last week but the doctor wasn’t concerned. She told me he’s probably had trauma to the arm (he hasn’t) but to monitor and check his armpits for any lumps?

I went home and sent a photo off using the skin vision app. It came back high risk and advised it to be examined.

I decided to scroll back onto my camera roll to see if I could pinpoint when it appeared. I found photos from mid march of the mole however it was smaller and different in appearance. However, February the mole is not there.

Imp it’s changed rapidly. I’ll attach a photo from March and a photo from today (in todays photo he’s wearing the beige t shirt). Does anyone have any experience with anything similar?

I will be taking him back to GP as soon as they give an appointment.

Hello - my son had something similar. It turned out to be a dermatofibroma.

Has he been in the sun recently? My son has a mole on his arm and a few years ago after a holiday I noticed it had changed and was darker. He was seen by a dermatologist who say it had maybe got a bit inflamed but was noting to worry about.
