Hello,
I used to worry a lot about melanoma on myself and have even had a few moles (probably needlessly) removed, but since being with my partner I have started worrying a lot more about him. He has lots of big moles, some irregular, all over his back and torso. His grandad also had skin cancer (admittedly he was diagnosed in his 80s and probably got it from sun exposure when abroad in the army in his 20s).
Just before we met (just over 2 years ago) he saw a dermatologist who said they were all fine. As far as I know, none have changed since then. But I worry a lot that there are so many we can't keep track of them all. I keep an eye on them and I think he does too, but we don't take photos of them/ go through them all or anything like that.
If it were me, I'd see a dermatologist once a year but he says he doesn't need to if none change. Which I do completely understand, but i worry so much that one will change and we won't notice as there are so many!
Can anyone offer any reassurance?
