| and have you checked it out with a dermatologist and if so - what were the results and done about it. |
| I got a bunch of new moles after my first pregnancy. Shortly after my daughter was born I went to a dermatologist and had him check everything out. I should do that every year but I haven't been in about two. |
| OP here- I already had alot of moles but I got a zillion more after each pregnancy - I feel like I am obsessed with finding and removing them now. |
|
Isn't that expensive, OP? or does insurance pay for all the removals
my funniest mole place is on the dead center tip of my elbow |
| Between my butt cheeks! My derm, when I go for full body checks for cancer, looks there, between toes, scalp, you name it! |
| I need a derm who can do that for me! Northern VA if anyone has recs. THANKS |

Nipple!
ANd it's huge now ever since pregnancy. Right on the tip. Helped the baby latch on! |
|
OP here, Insurance will cover 2/month, otherwise it is expensive - and hard to find a dermatologist that takes insurance (at least mine) but I did find one.
To the poster that had it on the nipple - ouch! Did you get that checked out? Also what is 'taint? |
| I had a melanoma ten years ago, on my finger. I see Carol McNeely, in DC. She is fabulous. She also said to watch out for moles on the labia, as they can be dangerous. |

I think the 'taint poster is a possible troll.
or someone with a perverted sense of humor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perineum |
| A lot of balding men get them on their heads - usually melanomas.... |
| Oh and my dermatologist told me he's seeing a lot under fingernails and toenails - again melanoma. |
|
I had one on the sole of my foot and never knew it was there until I was laying on a raft one day and someone said I had something on my foot. It was flat but big and turned out pre cancerous.
The places of most concern are palms of hands, sole of feet, under fingernails, toe nails, and genitals. |
| Does it hurt to get them removed? Does it leave a big scar? |
