now raised and got a black scab on it. I know I should go to Drs. Has anyone else had this. It's very small and I haven't caught it on anything. It started to raise a few weeks back and I forgot about it.

No experience personally, but just wanted to say please ring and make an appointment NOW.

Go to the doctors - soon. Any changes in a mole should be investigated.

Just rang have an appt on Friday. I have had this mole for years. Call it my beauty spot. Its very strange that it's doing funny things. Of course I am a bit worried, laying in bed last night thinking OMG what if I have got cancer. Am hormonal becaue of pg I think and that bloody royle family thingy....

Paranoia is a perfectly natural response. The important thing is you are doing something about it now.

Let us know what they say.

Best to have these things checked but don't panic. I've had 4 removed (one cut out and stitched under anaesthetic of course), the others burnt out with lasers. You don't feel anything or have any after-effects. Once it is removed they do tests on the mole. They never found anything with mine, none of them were malignant.

UCM - do get it checked but wanted to say, when i was pg, i noticed some of my moles changed and my gp said it was to do with pg hormones. however, i am going to have them checked again now i've had my baby.
good luck.
