Does this mole look suspcious?

Hi all, I'm going to book an appointment to get the mole on my back checked out. I've had it for as long as i can remember but over the years its changed colour, use to be all brown, now its just got a brown centre. guess id like a little reassurance here. Does it look normal? thanks

  1. Hi . We're not medical experts, so it's best if we don't try to guess, but I can tell you about my own experience. I had a mole larger than yours that would bleed when clothing touched it. My doctor removed it and had it biopsied and it was precancerous. So, fingers crossed yours in either noncancerous or precancerous as well. Regardless, it's a good idea to have it removed, especially since it's in an area where you can't monitor it well. Then you won't have to worry about it anymore. Let us know what your doctor says if you don't mind. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)

  2. Okay, thank you, Lori, for replying to me. I will make an appointment tomorrow and will let you know what my GP says. Thanks again, and hope you're doing okay.

    1. Thanks! All is well here. That was more than 30 years ago and I never had an issue in that spot again. I'll be looking for an update and sending lots of positive vibes your way. - Lori (Team Member)
