Moles and freckles are not necessarily skin cancer, and won’t necessarily turn into skin cancer. Mole mapping is a new way that doctors are able to keep an eye out on your moles to see if any of them start changing. It is important to keep an eye out for moles that rapidly grow in shape, or change in colour or that begin to bleed or become painful. It is also important to have someone check your moles in areas you cannot see. Areas on the back can be difficult to see, so ask your partner or friend to check out your back and any other difficult areas to ensure there are not any moles that have not been picked up on.
