I'm going to the optician in a couple of weeks to check it.
An atypical mole is just one that is large, or uneven, or two colours I believe. And I have several like that.
Even so...you are not a dermatologist.
I think normal looking moles can be dysplastic, but a large/multi-coloured mole can't be NOT dysplastic.
If you are one of the lucky souls allowed to enter NZ at this time please remember two things:
1. We did the hard months in lockdown abiding by rules for you to get here.
2. No one gives a shit if you prefer white towels or hotels with sea views.
You're in quarantine for fourteen days ...obey the rules.
Sorry yes that's what I meant - any multicoloured mole is dysplastic, not necessarily skin cancer. I don't know if I have skin cancer right now, but I do have moles that are dysplastic so my risk of developing melanoma is high.
I'm not sure how many exactly are dysplastic. I have the big weird one on my lower back, I have a multicoloured one on my arm, so that's two at least.
I guess I'm just scared that I have loads and loads of dysplastic ones, more than I thought, and so my risk is super high.
Let the dermatologist make this assessment....But you'll plough on regardless, won't you?
That's just what the definition of a dysplastic mole is tho.
