Last year I had to have one removed because it looked "suspicious" but the results came back normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-your-moles-checked-out-regularly#post-155624 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:12:32 +0000 Alivoo01 155624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any moles, but at my annual physical, the doctor will look around my body and check for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-your-moles-checked-out-regularly#post-155622 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:11:42 +0000 chopsuey 155622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have many moles so I've never been!

DH gets his checked regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-your-moles-checked-out-regularly#post-155616 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:09:06 +0000 DillonLion 155616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been, and I absolutely need to! I have felt too... embarrassed?! Which I know is totally unfounded and ridiculous. I have a reminder in my phone to schedule an appointment for next month. Trying to work up the courage to call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-your-moles-checked-out-regularly#post-155614 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:07:24 +0000 hilsy85 155614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to go every 6 months because I have a lot of moles...I had such an annoying experience at the dermatologist in march that I refuse to go back, so now I need to find a new one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-your-moles-checked-out-regularly#post-155613 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:06:42 +0000 Rubies 155613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do not but there is one mole that I have that changed in terms of B, D, and E when I was pregnant and my OB said that it was fine/normal but since having LO it hasn't gone back to the way it was (as OB said it would). I SHOULD get it checked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-your-moles-checked-out-regularly#post-155610 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:06:10 +0000 mediagirl 155610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I go once a year. I spoke to my doctor about a few moles that I was worried about that were elevated and she said not to worry about those. It's the moles that are a different color than the others and ones that change that are the ones you want to be observing. I have to go in in August and get one removed from my torso. Not looking forward to that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-your-moles-checked-out-regularly#post-155601 Fri, 11 May 2012 10:04:52 +0000 mrbee 155601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do not, but Mrs. Bee is much better about having a dermatologist check for the ABCDs:</p> <p>A= Asymmetry-one half is unlike the other half.<br /> B= Border Irregular-scalloped or poorly circumscribed border.<br /> C= Color Varied-from one area to another; shades of tan and brown; black; sometimes red, white,or blue<br /> D= Diameter larger than 6mm as a rule (diameter of a pencil eraser)</p> <p>I just saw in Google that there's an E too now: Elevation.</p> <p>Do you get your moles checked out regularly for the ABCDEs? </p>
