Have you had your moles checked?

[Perfectly Precious]

I got mine done today and I am pleased to say that (I dont have too many) they all are non threatening except one :D I have to go back in a month to see if this small one has changed and she will most likely take it off, its the tiniest mark really!
Skin cancer runs all through my family and I have put it off for so long now, the appointment I mean, but at least all is okay for now :yes:

Not all good news though....she also found out that my asthma is really bad (have to bump up the cortisone), I have a chest infection that is raging and I am still in the middle of glandular fever....I'm getting worse and its been 4 weeks now :blink:

Oh well, So have you had your moles checked lately???

Nup, i had one checked once after the guy i was seeing kept insisting so i did it to stop his harping - all fine. I've gotten stacks of little ones and those little red spots over the last few years....sigh. To be honest its not something i overly worry about, although if i had something that looked dodgy i would get it checked asap.

yep! i got mine checked over a year ago. i had to get two removed. one was on my arm, the other was down by my underwear line. the one on my arm was huge, the one down below was super small. here's a thread on it..i even shot pictures of my stitches! my first stitches ever! LOL

my doctor said i have to go back and get a few more of my moles checked out that are on my back and one of them on my leg is very dark. :yes: so i have to make another appointment soon. :yes:

[Gin please!]

I have one on the left side of my jaw near my ear and I have had it checked since I was 12 but I've got a new one like a dark freckle one my right arm where I was burnt and they took skin from for a donor site. I'm going to have it checked by my surgeon in a few weeks when I see her.

PP .... Glandular Fever has to run it's course and when you have a large family to care for plus other worries, it may just take longer.

I have mine done every 6 months as I have HUGE ones & am covered in them! It sux but it has saved my life I had aggressive melanoma when i was 21 on my right boob I had had round 20+ moles removed & get new ones growing all the time :(

It might be hard but it's good you're proactive and get them checked.

I really need to get mine done. Really.

:( I know I get it every year.....apparently I'm in a small 10% of people who keep getting it!
