hi i went to a mole clinic last end oct had total body checked with fango scanner all fine come back 18mnths ,

on my thigh i noticed one of my freckles/slightly raised moles type thing a little pink on one side ....

not red, or red/pink ring round it . light brown in colour but bit pink one side , now i do have hairs on thigh as dont shave that far up , i also have other moles on that thigh that look similar - the pink though ,

should i be worried ?

its not sore, itchy or red ,black , dark weeping anything at all ,

i am due to go back to see dermatologist in 3 weeks time as he gave me some cream to try on my face to help with pigmentation , so will ask him then .

thanks for reading

I wouldn't be worried by a mole that didn't itch or bleed, didn't appear to be growing bigger or uneven in shape and looked a bit like other moles nearby. Why are you so concerned? Have several members of your family had skin cancer? It's not exactly that long since you had your entire body checked. Obviously I'm not an expert, though, I just don't think if I had a mole like that it would worry me.

thanks , i am a bit of a worrier , no family history of cancer , and as you say did have check not to long ago , looking at it it may just be little pink maybe pimple come up under it , i do have a few if them from time to time, and actually one has come up on another small mole on same leg , going way now .so maybe thats what it could be .

its not sore or angry looking ,

im also compleatly knackered as been up most of week at night with DC , my DD now has tonsillitis and was up most of nigh with her , poor luv .

will keep eye on it though ..
