Well, you are thinking right. It needs to be properly assessed to know what is it . It needs to be carefully examined by the dermatologist to see the borders of the mole, the pigment distribution within the mole, assess its progression and know other things on enquiry as it demands. Meeting with a qualified dermatologist would be the right next step.
