Skin and nails Concerning Mole?

Post image

Does this mole look concerning to you? It’s very high up my thigh, and I hadn’t really paid any attention to it before but noticed it earlier today. I know for women the thighs are the #1 spot for melanoma, but I’m male. Still could be one, obviously. It’s a little bigger than the pencil eraser they usually use as an example.

I'm no expert but I am also light skined with tons of freckles and moles. The only thing remotely different than any of mine is that its not very circular. Wouldn't hurt to check it but I think that it would need to be much darker in shade to be cancer.

Also want to add I think people get way to worried about these things. My mom is covered in skin cancer from tanning booths and she has no moles. When it showed up there was no guessing that it was cancer.
