i also have not seen any suspicious things within that area 

Hi and thanks for both posts,

It is normal to have moles as a baby and to develop new moles as a child or teenager. Some moles can become cancerous, but at the age of 16, this would be unusual. If you had a  mole since childhood that had not changed it is unlikely that it was a mole that was concerning. 

I was unsure if you meant you removed a mole yourself a few years ago or if it was a doctor. If in the future you do have any moles that are causing you concern, it is best to be safe and to get checked by your GP rather than remove them yourself. It must be a doctor who assesses you and refers you to a skin specialist (dermatologist) if necessary. 

Take care and look after yourself

Yeah i removed it at home but it was quite a while about do you think i have anything to worry about or should i leave it as it is i’m just very paranoid 

Hello itscool111 and thanks for getting back to us again,

As you are feeling quite anxious about your mole I would get it checked by your GP so you can put your mind at rest. As you have had it so long it is unlikely to be a cause for concern but as you remain anxious it is sometimes a good idea to get that reassurance. 

Try to stay off the internet when you are worried about your health as it is very general and normally causes more anxiety.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Catherine

Thank you so much i was just wondering if i should book a doctors appoint or to not as it’s been years since i removed it at home around 5 years now or is it pointless wouldn't want to waste anyone’s time
