                No one can say for sure just by looking at it, you should definitely go check it out… It looks  weird, but all sorts of weird moles turn out to be nothing, so don't assume anything bad before hand…

                   No one can answer that by looking at a picture.  My husband's scariest looking moles were nothing, and the most benign-seeming discolorations were melanoma.  The most important thing to look for is change.  You've said you've had this for a long time — does it look different now?  Regardless, getting it checked out by a dermatologist is the only smart thing to do!
