Hello and thanks for your post

Most moles don't develop into skin cancer but there are certain things to look out for in moles that we need to report to the doctor. Again, they don't necessarily mean skin cancer however they do need to be properly assessed just to be on the safe side. GP's are very experienced at looking at skin conditions and are able to decide if someone needs further tests.

There is an ABCDE checklist that can be good to know about which you can take a look at on our website.

I hope this helps. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Best wishes,

Celene
