Tonight my DD was drawing on my tummy (I was letting her cos it was buying 5 minutes of relaxing...she's 2!) and she circled a mole on my tummy with the pen, which made me look at it closer. I noticed that, although it's pretty round in shape, it's quite big, the border is faded, and there is what appears to be 3 or 4 black spots in it.
I decided to have a really good look all over to see if there were any other funny looking moles and I have one very much like it on my leg. I also have another mole (also quite close to the other 2) which is very big, asymmetrical in shape but without any dark "spots."
I've obviously googled and freaked myself out a bit but I was wondering if you can have moles such as these that aren't anything/benign? Especially having two that are similar, is this reassuring or more alarming?
In any case I'm going to phone up the GP first thing in the morning but anyone with any advice/reassurance/experiences would be appreciated, as I'm feeling pretty nervous.
