OoO I have health insurance! I might talk to my doc about getting some of mine removed. I have spoken to a dr about them in the past and he didn't seem bothered. However I worry about them.
My son has a very large mole on his upper arm with heaps of hair in it. I do wonder if I should get that removed?

This is a good thread!
Becks is right - please get yourself checked straight away if you have any suspect moles.
My husbands 18 year old cousin had a mole removed from his back late last year that had only come up in the months before hand. A scan was done just to make sure as the test results came back a bit suspect and the poor boy found out that the cancer had spread to his internal organs, lymphnods(sp?) and bones. This is no joke, it spreads that fast! We don't know how long he has because he didn't want to know, but he will be lucky if he makes it to this christmas!

Can I ask a stupid question... do i need to worry about freckles as well as moles? I have heaps of freckles, always have, but while I was pregnant, I had some really dark freckles appear on my nipple ??? Also, the freckles I had on my tummy also went very dark, almost mole like.
So sorry to hear of these very tragic and sad stories

Moles and freckles can change when your pregnant.
The main signs for dodgy moles etc are when they change colour/shape, and if they itch a lot and bleed, most moles and freckles are totally normal even if they look dodgy, but if your worried its best to get them checked out by the dr or molemap etc

Thats so sad to her about your DH's cousin. My Aunty's Brother died at 21 from a brain tumor. It's horrible thing to have happen in a family and we still miss him even though this happened over 10 years ago. My heart goes out to your extended family  
I'm thinking I will go to my dr next week and get him too look at the moles on my back.

i just thought i would pop back in here and say that i got an email back from molecheck....i asked them if they could be paid off instead of one lump sum and they do!!! so thats great!!!
so if anyone cant afford the whole payment all at once, as long as you pay a lump sum on the day then you can pay the rest back in two installments.
 just thought i would say that if anyone is interested!
