Should I be worried about changes to a mole?

I've had a small mole near the side of my nose for about 9 years. The other night I noticed a distinct change while I was washing my face. The shape and color have not changed at all, the only change is from underneath the skin. It feels like a hard and raised bump that is pea-sized. I can't move the bump underneath the skin...it is stationary and it doesn't hurt unless I press on it too hard.

Should I be worried? I haven't been able to find anything online so far that could be what I have. I plan on calling to schedule an appointment on Monday to have it looked at, but in the meantime I'm just trying to find out what it could possibly be. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

    It doesn't sound like much of anything to worry about to me but I give you kudos for knowing when something is off in your body and giving your doc a call.
