Do these moles look normal?

Can't get into the GP, don't even know if there's cause for it! But I've called every day for almost 2 weeks and can't get an appointment. So just looking for advice!

I have these moles on my stomach. They e always been there but I don't look at them very often. They seem to have got darker and more raised? But this could be simply down to me ignoring them they could've been like this for a while.

Just need some opinions and advice on what I can do as the GP simply don't have time to check them 😫 they're about the size of a pea.

I am no expert but I have had moles checked. They always say take a photo on your phone then take again in 4-6 weeks and compare. The key thing is whether they're changing and that's enough time to tell.

They look fine to me, but are they ‘normal’ for you? I’ve had skin checks before and doctors have always said to look out for anything that is different to your usual type of mole.

@Offleyhoo that's a great tip thank you! Now I'm more aware of them I'll monitor them and take some more pics in a few weeks!

@Moonlaserbearwolf I do have quite dark moles and they don't look too alarming I guess! Plus I'm not sure if they actually went bigger during pregnancy (due to my stomach stretching) and I've only just really noticed it now! I'll keep a close eye amd if they change anymore I'll have to demand an appointment! X
