Moles on 11yr old’s scalp! Any dermatologists think this warrants a GP appointment??

Just to preface this, I am categorically not looking for a diagnosis on the internet! I’m just a slightly-prone-to-panicking and frankly, anxious mum and looking for opinions on whether or not to take up a GP appointment for these 3 moles on DD’s scalp!

They’ve have always been there. However I am 70/80% certain that at least the bigger one, is darker than last time I saw it a few weeks ago. I know the advice that if a mole gets darker or changes, to get it checked. But I’m not 100% sure that they have and if so, that they’re ’dark enough’ to be worrying??

Ps Sorry for the poor quality photos, it was a lot harder than you think to get the bloody phone to focus! They do look ever so slightly darker round the edges in person than how they look on the photos, especially the single, larger one.

Would you go to GP/Nurse Practitioner?

Yes. I would get a dermatologist referral as well.
