Changing freckle
Hello,
Is it normal for a freckle to change over a period of 2 years? I have been keeping an eye on a new one that appeared on my shoulder, it was shaped a bit like Mickey Mouse, i.e. it was comprised of three dots. It's now less Mickey Mouse-ish, it is nearly oval or circular in shape, browner, and less defined. It does not itch or bleed.
I have been taking pictures of it and storing it on a skin tracking app so I can see the difference quite clearly.
Please let me know your thoughts.
