Help & Support: Moles

See your GP if you have a mole that:

has an irregular or asymmetrical shape
has an irregular border with jagged edges
has more than one colour – it may be flecked with brown, black, red, pink or white
is bigger than 7mm in diameter
is itchy, crusting or bleeding

Any of the above changes means there's a chance you have malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer.
