Hello and thanks for your post,

It is difficult to know what the doctors thinking was but she sounded quite certain that the three moles at the moment were not suspicious and they may never turn in to cancer but it is important to carry on monitoring them.

She may have written a follow up letter to your GP which may give more of an explanation as to why she decided not to remove your moles.

I can appreciate that keeping an eye on moles can be tricky. It may be helpful to take a photograph of them now which will help you monitor if there are any changes.

 Have a look at the ABCDE guide to looking at moles written by the Skin Foundation here

The NHS also has a mole assessment tool here

It is important to stay safe in the sun. We do have some tips on our website which you may find quite helpful to look at here

If you feel that it would be helpful to chat with one of the helpline nurses then do give us a ring. Our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are here Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

All the Best,

Catherine
