I've been worried about melanoma recently, probably because it's been so sunny.

I'm super pale and freckled, but with dark hair and greenish eyes.

I reckon I've had up to 10 bad sunburns, with pain and peeling, in my life. The first one was when I was about 10yo. So obviously that's bad straight away.

These days I still sunbathe. Apparently you're allowed 20 minutes on each side without sunscreen, so that's what I do on sunny days. I never burn when I do that, at least not noticeably, but I do develop a light tan.

I have so many moles. Honestly it's probably about 100. One of them in particular is weird af, pretty big and irregular with some darker bits, but I've had it for ages and the doctor checked it ages ago and said it was just a novus or something. My other moles look regular (that I can see).

Basically, I guess I'm pretty high risk for melanoma, and my past sunburns won't have helped. I don't know if my 20 mins sunbathing these days is a problem too. I read that the average white person has a 2.6% lifetime risk of melanoma, so I wouldn't be surprised if mine was 10% or more.

Not sure what to do now. You can't really get regular full body mole mapping in the UK, but maybe I should pay to do it privately?
