By doing a skin test, do you mean you had a checkup by a dermatologist? If so, be reassured that those moles were not melanomas. Get a skin check up every 6 months or if you observe a change in existing moles or other skin lesions. Although all the melanomas I've seen were flat, they can be raised.
