i am 14 and i have a mole and it is down on the very inside of my leg and i have had it for as long as i can remember and i has very dark parts then light parts also it sticks out quite bad and you can kind of wobble it round.
i have not told my mum or dad about it as i find it embarrassing.
is there anything wrong with it?

Hii
Im 13 and i have have a few moles here and there but i have one just below my belly button and one just between my breats and i realy hate it and it really makes me body concious because im always trying to hide it.Is it possible to get them taken away even if your told thers nothing wrong?
I have a mole just above my lip and it is raised it has bled once but not again.
It's not that i am concerned but i feel really insecure with it and how old would i have to be to get it removed ? And would it scar ? I really really hate it ! :(
