The photos aren't viewable – the album is "private". In any case, there is no way to diagnose a lesion based on visual characteristics alone. If this is something that worries you, it is best to go to a doctor to have a professional opinion. As far a new moles go, a doctor who studies atypical moles and multiple primaries once said in a lecture "new and like everything else is fine. New and different from all other moles should be biopsied". Our best advise is to get a professional opinion as no two melanoma primaries look alike and it's hard to know what is "normal" for you.
Best wishes,
