I have developed a new mole on my triceps which I noticed recently. I have a history of health anxiety and I am scared this could be melanoma. I do have a burning sensation around it and its very slightly elevated. But its not big in size or asymmetrical or vague border. No family history of skin cancer. Is it normal?
