Mole fell off, grew back and fallen off again!

Just like it says above. I had a mole on my left thigh. It felt off a few years ago and grew back. It's fell off again around 2 weeks ago.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Is it a mole or a growth?

Yes. It was a bcc so I advise you get it checked.

It's a mole. I went to the doctors about them. I've waited a good while for a dermatology appt and got one next week

What happened if you don't mind me asking? Did they cut it out?

@wifeyxx yes I had a dermatology referral, then another 18 weeks later had an appointment for removal. Didn’t hurt at the time but sore after.

Thought I would update. Was at dermatologist today and she said it was nothing to worry about.

Could it be a seborrheic keratosis? They are benign growths that often look like moles. Google them. I've got one on my thigh, it does exactly this! Falls off, grows back every few months.
