Changing moles

Anyone else had moles change? I'm moley anyway, with irregular moles (checked by dermatologist and fine). However like 15 moles on my body have changed colour, got a different coloured spot inside, become really bumpy, got bigger, got rough skin on. On legs, body, boobs and face. I feel like I'm always bothering my doctor about something and forgot to ask midwife at 16 weeks appointment. I'm assuming as so many have changed it's hormonal, just wondering if anyone else has had this.

Definitely normal and common! However, please get any changes checked. I developed more freckles but also developed a mole. The mole was colourless and like a small pimple , within weeks it grew huge in size, raised, and turned black, I was absolutely petrified and convinced myself it was a melanoma that was going to kill me within weeks (I have severe health anxiety) I got it checked 3x (I kept going back to the GP even after being told it's okay) their finally going to remove it only bc of my anxiety. I was told it was caused by pregnancy.

I am moley too and 32 weeks pregnant and have noticed the same thing. Lots of moles darkening in particular and some new ones appearing out of nowhere! If you are worried though, like PP said don't hesitate to call GP and put your mind at rest.

I’ve noticed this too! 29 weeks and a normally very flat mole on my leg is very raised now. I’m going to ask at my next appointment just to be on the safe side.

Did you ever get the new ones appearing seen to? I’m the same 30 weeks pregnant and it seems like a mole is forming on my arm it’s colouring is coming through and it is freaking me out!
