Brown mole appeared on vulva lips

I just had a bath to relax, and as I was shaving at the end, I was sitting on the edge of the tub and noticed a new brown mole on the inner part of my outer lips. It is hard, and at first I thought maybe it was an ingrown hair, but after a close inspection with a mirror, it is a mole/spot. Any suggestions on what it could be? It has never been there before and was not there even a few days ago.

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Unfortunately, this forum is not really meant for people with symptoms or health concerns, as we can't diagnose.

    We do develop moles throughout our life, and these can appear anywhere on the body. If you are concerned, then do ask your GP about it, and they can advise further. They are used to being asked about various lumps and bumps in intimate areas, and you can ask to see a female doctor if preferred.

    Best wishes,
