    A higher resolution image would help, but to be honest, it just looks like a new mole. Depending how long or dense your pubic hair was before shaving, it could well have started in between shaves. Always important to keep an eye on moles and seek professional help if they grow exponentially, bleed, change colour texture or become irregular...,,

      Yes, perfectly normal. They can crop up anywhere at anytime. Just keep an eye on them as you would any mole.

    One can't tell much from such a poor quality photo but I'm not necessarily sure that is a new mole. Do keep an eye it.

      It is still out of focus, but definitely looks like a mole.
