9yo new mole?

[SinkingSlowly20]

I think I need to take her to GP to stop myself overthinking if nothing else but anyone else had this?

Maybe 3-6 months ago I noticed a mole on dd’s scalp that I hadn’t noticed before. I figured I’d just never noticed it before, never even occurred to me to be worried about it at the time.

I’ve now looked at baby photos when she had zero hair and I can’t even see a tiny freckle where this mole is, I’ve googled and it looks like the perfect healthy mole; asymmetrical, quite light coloured, smaller than pencil eraser etc

It’s sensible to take to GP to get it checked just incase isn’t it? I’m doubting myself as the last 2 times she’s went for other things they’ve found zero wrong with her, 1 was a worrying hospital job too.

Disclaimer: I’m sleep deprived and been in constant pain last few months so I’m possibly not thinking straight.

It says it's normal for new moles to appear - especially in children or teenagers.

Taking your DD to the GP seems like an overreaction ... does your practice do telephone, or online consultations? If the latter, maybe you could send a photo?

Sounds completely fine to me.

It's totally normal for new moles to appear. I've got quite a few, all are fine and healthy, none of them were there when I was born.

Thank you! I’d read that they appear in children, then completely forgotten that info when I read that you should get new ones as checked (adults).

Think my brain was on a loop, fixed now though!
