Understanding Moles: When to Seek Medical Advice


Question
I have a mole on my leg, at least I think that is what it is, it has been there for a long time, it is not big, it is skin colored but sometimes it feels like a calous almost, rough, even getting a white look like a caloud would,  it really doesn't have any pain unless it gets irritated from me messing with it.
I am worried it may be something serious but since I don't have INS. I don't want to rush to the Dr. either.  
I would say I have noticed it for several years and nothing really has changed, I just don't know why it gets rough feeling.
I am white, female, 28, can send a picture if I was provided an email address.  Thanks for anything you can tell me.

Answer
Hi Marie,

To be honest, I cannot advise you without seeing the mole, itself. However, it would be in your best interest to speak to Dr. Fisher, MD who is also on this forum under dermatology. He would be happy to entertain your question.
