I sort of feel like you have to be prepared to be triggered if you're gonna use a health anxiety forum tho. Like, I get triggered every time I read anything about pregnant women. Or see them irl, for that matter. But that's life. And I'd still try to help them on their threads, even though it's painful.
Glad your bro is ok, Wise. I'm checking with Nuffield about the mole mapping but I guess it's going to be prohibitively expensive 😬
How do you think posting pictures here would provide concrete help to you?

I think that's a really good idea.

I can have consultation and full body mole screen for £550 😬
I am considering it.
Maybe just as a one off, and then I can compare my moles to the images (which I get on USB stick) myself going forwards? I definitely wouldn't pay that every year.
He can also remove anything that looks bad, but I imagine that's very expensive so I'd probably just tell my GP if that were the case and ask the NHS to do it.
Seriously??? You are going to pay £550 for this?

It's actually only £300!
I feel that I should do this.
Because then I will have every single mole checked, a visual record of them all, and an expert opinion.
And I can refer back to the photos and get more help if anything changes.
Ok well that is your choice and a total waste of money in my opinion. You could use that money to get help with the REAL problem here which is clearly your HA but I don't think you will see it like that.
Not much more to say then really as you have a plan of action now so can move on from this.

Well, it says it's a good idea for people with certain risk factors - such as pale skin, lots of moles, and a history of sunburn. And that's me.
I did also find out why lots of moles are bad. It shows that your skin cells are over-productive, and that can lead to cancer.
You can also get internal melanomas.
