New here so apologies if this is in the wrong subject. I have an appointment with a  Dermatologist this Friday as part of the two week wait referral process. My doctor has listed three moles on my calf/thighs as 'suspicious', the calf one causing the most concern. 

In the past 3-4 weeks I have developed several new small moles/freckles. We're talking in the range of 15-20. I also have several older moles that have changed size,shape and colour quite drastically. Some have changed appearance noticeably within a few days. 

This is something I will definitely be showing the Dermatologist at the appointment (I'm taking photos of their progress). I have also developed these flat, light purple/red blodges near some of the newly formed moles. 

Just wondering if anyone has any advise from personal/professional experience about this. Should I be worried about the rate of growth/changing of these moles, or is it just something that can be put down to hormones etc. Unfortunately cancer isn't a rare occurrence in my family, with a few members on my Mum's side having had Stage 4 melanoma. 

Thank you
