Over the last year 3 new moles have appeared on my nose. I thought it a bit strange, like why now? I'm in my late thirties if that makes any difference.

Google says unusual looking, or non symmetrical moles need medical attention but mine are pefectly round.

Would I be daft seeing a Dr about them? I don't want them to think I'm wasting their time. Thanks ladies!

I got a spurt of new moles in my late thirties early forties. I did Google and it suggested hormonal changes. There’s an app where you photograph and they risk assess so I did that as mines were all over back/ arms/ chin / legs.

NHS advice is to have new moles assessed. Certainly not a waste of time.

Ohh do you happen to have the name of the app? Thank you!

There is an app called skin vision, I’m sure there are more. However skin vision said my mole was not concerning and it turned out to be a melanoma. I would advise getting it checked for your own peace of mind, never wrong to check

Oh gosh I'm sorry to hear that, was treatment for it successful? Also if you don't mind me asking where was the mole?
