Hi, the last few months i noticed that some of my moles became painful when touched. I have a lot more moles now than a year before. Do i need to check them and where?

Dear Jenny135
We would recommend that any moles or lesions that are changing;
- become asymmetrical
- have irregular borders
- change in colour
- increase in size
- become itchy, painful or start to crust
should be reviewed by a GP or dermatologist.
Best wishes

Thank u. Also I am pregnant at the moment so is there any chance that my moles are itchy or painful because of the pregnancy?

Moles can change during pregnancy but we would always recommend having them assessed by a GP/Dernatologist.
