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!

If the moles are new you should have them checked by a dermatologist.

Skin tags are usually harmless and can be snipped off while at clinic.
