If it hurts, that could be a sign that there is a problem. Get a second opinion, and go to a dermatologist. It's not possible to know if a mole is cancerous until it is removed. I had a mole on the middle of my cheek removed when I was in middle school because it was necessary to see if it was cancerous (it wasn't, luckily), and it healed wonderfully with the aid of neosporin and mederma(an awesome scar healer if you use it as soon as the wound heals). If it is not symmetrical, not uniform in color, or painful to the touch, then these could all be warning signs that you should have it taken care of. Your face is constantly exposed to UV rays, so even if it is safe now, it could become dangerous in the future. Don't worry about it, don't be scared. Early detection and prevention make it so that you can save yourself from cancer!
