Question about a mole and a skin tag

Hello all!

I am 28 years old european male with darker than usual skin. I must say I have a lot of moles on my skin, so I believe it is reasonable to be constantly worried.

I currently have two things that I am concerned about.

The first one is a mole I just realised I did not had 1-2 years ago, which is fairly large. It is still smaller than a pencil eraser though. I have taken picture of it:

Should I be worried about it, as it is present from recently, not sure when exactly. What I am sure about is that i did not had it 2 years ago as I keep pictures of my skin to monitor for such newly formed moles.

On the other hand, I have/had two "skin tags" on my back. One of them fell off (was ripped off) in the past and so far I have no issues regarding it. However, I have a second one that I felt irritated few days ago and it seems like it was torn a bit as there was some blood there. Are skin tags dangerous as I feel this one will fall too. I took pictures of it as well.

Pretty much I am concerned about my help and all kinds of cancers, so any feedback will be appreciated, if you have encountered such problems in the past.

Thank you!

Sounds like you have a few different spots you are really concerned about- and like you regularly monitor your skin.  Have you ever been to a dermatologist?  If not, I'd recommend setting up an initial appointment with one- there are many patients that are at risk for skin cancer (not saying you are, but if that is the case for you- which only a doctor will be able to tell you)- then you can go for regular six month check ups to have them look things over.  Someone taking a look at your moles in person is the best way to get an accurate idea of what is happening.
