Mole issues: Any moles that seem to change color or start getting bigger need to be seen by a Dermatologist to make sure its not a melanoma type lesion.

Changing mole : Naked eye examination is not enough , you will need dermoscopy . Please see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon or doctor who has done diploma is skin cancer surgery or your GP .

Can look: Yes, if you have a live consult via SmartHealth we can take a look and advise you. The first screening examination is the 'ABCD' exam (Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Colour variation, Diameter > 6 mm). However, if you've noticed a change in colour/size then we would almost certainly need you to see a specialist for their opinion. This referral would need to come from your GP.
