I've grown a small mole on top of my foot should I be worried?

It isn't itchy or an odd colour or anything but at the age of 53 I've just noticed this mole.
I don't want to bother my GP unnecessarily but should i be worried?

Get it checked by your GP. That is the only way to make sure and stop you worrying

If it’s new you should definitely get it checked by your gp, you’re not wasting their time.

Always get a new mole checked.

Get it checked

I think to make it easy you can email a photo to the surgery, they forward it to Dermatology and then they advise if no action necessary / or arrange an appointment if needed.

not normal, get it checked

Definitely, I had a cancerous mole removed last year and the consultant said you don't get new moles once you are about 40

Yes - it’s new and its edges are blurry. Definitely get it checked.

I sent a picture to my GP they said not to worry. It has actually faded a bit
