This resulted in it to become even more elevated than before, so I plucked the hair and also it settled earlier down. However before, the hair has actually now grown earlier and the mole has become inflamed and painful to the touch.

Inflamed mole via hair
15 Feb 2020 14:30 in response to PMac123Hi,
As Jenn has actually already sassist, only a GP deserve to offer you the reassurance that your mole is OK. Generally speaking, a mole with a hair thriving from it is less likely to be cancerous. However, you need to bear in mind that melanoma doesn"t always follow the rules so get it viewed once you get house & hopetotally it will be fine.
