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

[IncompleteSenten]

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.

What IS a mole? Do they have to be raised? What defines them from a freckle or beauty mark?

I think I have 3 (face, boob, arm). My favourite is the arm one as it grows a long, dark hair whereas the others might be freckles tbh.

The paler you are the MORE likely you are to have moles, not less.

I've never counted, so "some".
All pretty pointless, really!

I have no scientific evidence but I heard when the egg splits it causes little defects that end up being moles. When I compare my moles with my twin they are in very similar places.

I have over a hundred. All over but mainly on my arms and chest.

I think if you have 50 your more susceptible to skin cancer but I might have that wrong.

None!

This is a fun game. But I have the same issue as other PPs. I am prone to a freckle. I have some definitive freckles, I have some definitive moles. And I have a whole load of ones which I can’t decide how to classify? So I would hazard a guess as somewhere between 20 and 100?

Like you I have loads. Have never counted but it's got to be more than 100 I'm sure.

None, but I do have freckles.

If you can feel it, it's not a freckle.

Loads, more than 100 probably just on 1 leg. I'm a very mole-y person, you could do a join the dots on me.

I read a sign that said you shouldn't use a sunbed if you have over 20 moles. I have 21 on my forearm so have never tried to tan! I'm very fair and just burn so there's no point anyway.
I don't have any siblings but my cousins are very moley too. I've had a few removed- one was a bit dodgy but it didn't cause any issues.

Freckles or moles?
Where do you draw the line?
If we’re talking freckles I’m up in the 100’s
Moles the 10’s

Not many, around ten but I’m religious about checking them as I’ve already had skin cancer.

Just the one. Small, only very slightly raised, and grows it's own singular hair.

I've got over 100. Which is an indicator of increased chance of melanoma so do look out for changes in your moles.

Yeh I reckon 200+ - I have them checked at hospital every year and I have 30+ on the high monitoring, the medical photographer said never had anyone with so many being photographed every year

Loads, I’ve never counted them though. Could be close to 100 if all types. Do you count the little freckles ones or just the raised ones?

So many. Definitely in the hundreds. I always had a lot but then got loads more in pregnancy. My body didn’t change in any other way - still have a great figure and boobs. But unfortunately am now covered in moles.

Part of my arm - some are raised - some more of a freckle

I have sooooo many
if i dont get skin cancer at some point it will be a miracle . My parents didn’t believe in sun cream 🙄
though I used to think they were all caused by sun damage but my son has them in places that have never seen the sun and he’s never been sun burned

Hundreds, the same as both my parents and the rest of my extended family.

My dad had a stage 0 melanoma removed a few years ago so I keep an eye on mine and get the GP to check any I'm worried about.

Wow, some of you have zero? I thought everyone had moles.

I've got loads of flat, "stretched" moles on my back that I hate. I think I hate them more because I can't see them to monitor if they are growing in size or number. I went to the GP and asked her specifically to check them ('cos I couldn't see them) and she said they were all normal and no cause for alarm.

We are lucky enough to have a local pharmacy whocan freeze them off but I've far too many to be affordable, so I'm stuck with them, sadly.

Well over 100.

I hate the word mole and think they’re really unattractive. I do not know why I feel like this. I do have some.
