Could this be a cancerous mole? ?

I’ve had this pink lump on my head for as long as I can’t remember, recently the shape has become “bubblier” Does anybody know what it is/ how I get rid of it? Thank you :)

    lOOKS LIKE A MOLE-----------------------------------

    Moles (nevi) are small usually dark, skin growths that develop from pigmentation - producing cells in the skin (melanocytes).

    Moles vary in size, may be flat or raised,, may be smooth or rough,( wart-like), and may have hairs growing out of them. Although they're usually brown or black, moles can be flesh colored (in this case) or a yellow-brown. Almost everyone has moles,, which commonly develop in childhood or adolescence. Like all cells, pigment cells respond to changes in hormone levels, so moles may appear, enlarge, or darken during pregnancy.

    Depending on the appearance and location, moles may be considered either blemishes or beauty marks.(In your case neither one applies).Moles can be removed a health care provider using a scalpel and some local anesthetic. The mole is gone.

    A mole or freckle that looks different from the others or that has any characteristics of the ABCDEs of melanoma should be checked by a dermatologist. It could be cancerous. The ABCDEs are important characteristics to consider when examining your moles or other skin growths, so learn them in the slides to come.

    It doesn't look cancerous at all, but why on earth haven't you had a doctor look at it long before now?

    Get medical advice.

    It looks like a wart, not a mole.  If it is growing, it might be good to get rid of it before it causes trouble.  Talk to a doctor.

    "Suggestion" is also helpful in making sure the wart goes away, so make sure you tell it to go away as well.

    Looks more like a wart than anything else. Get your doctor to check it for you.

    Looks like a wart to me.

    A doctor can deal with it in the office. Make an appointment.
