Almost everyone has moles, and the vast majority are perfectly normal for life. Knowing what a healthy mole looks like, and what a change looks like, means you can act early if something ever shifts.
A simple guide
A helpful checklist looks at whether a mole is asymmetrical, has an irregular border, has more than one colour, is larger than a pencil eraser, or is evolving over time. Any one of these is a reason to get it looked at, not a reason to panic.
Trust changes over time
The single most useful thing is noticing change. A mole that has looked the same for years is usually fine. A mole that is newly itchy, bleeding, growing or changing colour deserves a professional look, promptly.
Book a mole check
If a mole has changed or is on your mind, book a consultation at our Harley Street clinic and we will examine it properly and advise you honestly. This article is general information and not a diagnosis; if you are worried about a mole, please get it checked.
