New moles appeared on Vulva

Hi All,

I'm 29 and I've had several marks/freckles/moles appear on my vulva (outer lips but marks are located on the inside) over the past few months. They're medium brow/tan in colour, flat, located all on the left and some are large and some are small. I've seen my GP and his diagnosis is that they're benign. However, I still have concerns and wonder whether it's worth getting a second opinion? I think my worry is that they're new and i just don't know how common it is to get freckles/moles there? I'm covered in freckles but never had any there. I'm also concerned that other options weren't considered, such as maybe a hormone imbalance causing them?

    I personally would say sign up to bupa and book through them! They were amazing with me!

  • Thanks for responding.

     

    i wanted to ask, how many moles did you hsve appear?

    Was it just one? I have my biopsy next week for several moles which I don't know if they are new or always been there.

  • Hello! 

    I know this was from a few years ago, but just wondering how you got on? I’m in a similar situation. I have a few moles and I don’t know how long they’ve been there. One of them has become raised which made me notice, so I’m getting them checked. Hoping it’s nothing but Google is terrifying!

  • I’m in a similar situation as well, first noticed 1 mole about 2 years ago; saw my gp said it was fine. 2nd time, more moles but again said it was ok. 3rd time, more moles, finally referred me as non-urgent. Waited just over a year to see the hospital, they said they aren’t expecting cancer but referred me for an urgent biopsy just in case, which I’ve finally had today. I know I shouldn’t google, but I have, and am now terrified for the results. 

  • Try not to worry until there’s something to worry about (and hopefully there isn’t). But Google is absolutely terrifying isn’t it. Are yours all flat, normal looking moles? I’m seeing my GP next week so I’ll see what she says. It’s the one that is now raised that is worrying me!
