Depends. Has it always been that shape and size? Unless you’ve noticed a change etc it’s probably fine but you could get it checked if you want. Has it changed in colour, shape, size or texture? Or has it become painful, itchy or bleeding? If not it’s likely ok. I have an irregular mole on my stomach but it’s been that shape and size for 15+ years and it’s fine.

@Lilac95
I don’t really know if it’s changed in shape , as it’s on my back and it’s really hard to see. My partner spotted it and said I had a few ? I think I’ll ask the doctor anyway. It’s not painful or itchy.

Better to be safe than sorry, I had one on my neck checked out because it had changed slightly and was itching, and it was biopsied very quickly. Thankfully it was benign.

Get them checked then if your unsure and if they are all ok maybe put a reminder in your phone for your partner to take a picture of your back every month or two to check and compare? That’s what I’ve done

Looks normal. But I think if you have lots of moles, it is recommended that you get an annual skin check by a dermatologist. They photo record them so they can see if one starts to change.

Thankyou all 🙂 I think I’ll check just to be on the safe side .

It looks normal to me. Border isn’t jagged and it’s all one colour, it’s just not a uniform round shape. Best to get checked but I am a hypochondriac and I probably wouldn’t worry about it.
