      I have posted on here a couple of times and received great information. I am wondering about a new mole I just discovered. Background: last summer I had two moles removed, one severely atypical and the other moderately atypical. Another was removed later that was moderately atypical but clear margins so didn't have to have any further excision on it. I go back in a couple of weeks for my six month skin check. 

      A couple of weeks ago I noticed a new mole?? I only realized it was there on my neck because it was hurting right there. The mole is nothing like any others. It doesn't have any color to it. It also feels like a little pea is under it. None of my other moles are hard at all. Is this normal?

          Boo, none of us can tell you whether or not a mole is melanoma.  Only a biopsy will rule that out.  However, the things to look for are "new and different" or "change".  This one falls under the "new and different" rule, so I'd probably have it chekced out by a dermtologist.  It's probably nothing, but you will worry about it until you do.
