What changes in moles can mean they need medical attention?
Doctors encourage people to keep an eye on their moles and ask them for advice when a mole: • Changes shape: especially if it has irregular edges • Changes size: especially if it gets larger • Bleeds easily If you find a mole that has any of these changes, do go to see your general practitioner soon. They will be able to check it out for you and refer you to a dermatologist or oral and maxillofacial surgeon (if it is on your head, neck, face or is in your mouth).
