During pregnancy, your skin can change because of hormones. If your mole has turned into small skin-colored bumps, here are some possible reasons:

✔️ Hormones – Pregnancy can make moles grow or change.
✔️ Skin tags – Small, soft, harmless growths can appear near a mole.
✔️ Common skin growths – Some harmless bumps, like seborrheic keratosis, can form.
✔️ Viral infection – Conditions like molluscum contagiosum can cause grouped bumps.
✔️ Warts (HPV) – Some warts can look like bumpy moles.
✔️ Other skin changes – If the mole gets bigger, changes color, or looks unusual, it’s best to get it checked.

Since your mole has changed, it’s best to see a skin doctor to be safe.

Likely not a mole and requires biopsy

Very peculiar. If bumps persist, I would seek out a local dermatologist. Sometimes a virus can cause similar bumps.

Not sure. The mole has developed a dense cluster of small blisters. Without more information, it is not diagnostic. Possibilities include herpes simplex, allergic contact dermatitis, unusual drug eruption, and intense reaction to an insect or arthropod bite.
