How many moles do you have on your body? I have over 100.

I'm bored. I was plucking my magnificent menopausal gift of a luxurious handlebar moustache when I realised I've got quite a few moles on my face. So I counted them.

Then I decided to carry on counting. Nearly 100 and that's just the places I can see!! God knows how many I've got round the back. I assume probably as many. I can't imagine I'm a dalmatian at the front but not the back.

Given I have 26 on my right forearm alone, I’m guessing I’ll have about 300-odd in total!

FaceBothered · 28/02/2026 21:50

I've probably got the same amount as you.

For me, they started coming up during puberty and although I'm now in my mid-fifties, I'm still getting new ones.

I have not counted mine for several decades, but there were 57 on one thigh and 38 on the other in my teens. Never done the rest of ́my body. Lots.

Interested in this thread?

10-15 I think

IncompleteSenten · 28/02/2026 21:55

Weird, isnt it? They just seem to be cropping up all over the place. I'm sure I didn't used to have so many.

What an exciting life I have. Spending my Saturday evening eating peanut m&ms and counting my moles. 🤣

I can see 6 on my left arm, 8 on my right, one on one leg and none on the other - so not loads but not none!
And of course I can’t see the entirety of my arms and legs so probably more.
oh, I have one on my collarbone too.

I went to the doctor with a suspicious looking mole.

He told me they all look like that and to leave it at home in the garden next time.

Loads on my neck and chest but only one on my face, which I believe makes it a beauty mark, medically speaking. (It used to be parallel to my lower eyelid, now it’s mid-nose latitudinally speaking, if I live long enough it might end up where Madonna drew hers on in the 80s?)

Are you a twin? I heard twins have more moles than average. I certainly do!

A guy I used to work with went to the doctor about a mole on his knob. The doctor told him he was going to report him to the RSPCA.

SnugglyJumpersMakeItBetter · 28/02/2026 22:09

I've got millions, but can't count them as I'm not sure at what point a freckle becomes a mole? I have a variety of sizes!

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 28/02/2026 22:11

If you are still bored, you could try joining them up. I did that in a book once and it turned out to be a giraffe!

IncompleteSenten · 28/02/2026 22:11

🤣 loving the jokes.

Hmm. Wonder what is the difference between a freckle and a mole. Im going to Google.

None.

I am blonde and fairly fair skinned. I wonder if that's why. My DH and 2 DC are fair and blonde too and also have no moles. (We all have blue eyes.)

Sometimes me and my sister used to pick a body part and see who had the most moles on it. Eg left lower arm. Good times.

Heatedrival · 28/02/2026 22:25
I feel left out now
MovedlikeHarlowinMonteCarlo · 28/02/2026 22:27

That seems loads. I think I have 2 or 3.

Helpitsoutofshape · 28/02/2026 22:28

I’m more interested in how many M&Ms you have.

Huh! I have loads and am a twin.

RandomUsernameHere · 28/02/2026 22:30

Around 3 I think, although not sure of the definition of a mole vs freckle vs birth mark.

Nanda66 · 28/02/2026 22:31

I have lots of freckles, I’ve had them all my life. But I don’t have any moles.

robinjoe · 28/02/2026 22:31

Why does it matter?

Whitesapphire · 28/02/2026 22:31
