Should I get this checked? Does this look suspicious?

I am covered in moles but I saw one on my arm that doesn't look too great. It's not very big. However the colour has me concerned. It has a brown rim and a darker middle.

Has it changed? How big is it? I’d always urge people to get anything checked out. I do an online consultation and send a photo. Can you do that at your surgery?

I’d get that checked. My DH has had melanoma twice.

Is it new or changed? If you're worried just get it checked then hopefully it'll give you peace of mind.

Thank you for the replies. I got a referral to the hospital. I am on a waiting list. I'm not very nervous or anxious about waiting. Hopefully it's nothing.

To be honest. I don't know if it has changed. I have so many moles I never really took note of this one and see if it changed. All I do know is that it looks different to all of my other moles. I think it could have been there on my arm for quite some time but I put it to the back of my mind and thought nothing off it.
There's something in my mind now that's hitting me strong to go and move forward and getting it checked. It's a different colour to all of my other moles.
