I have over 100. About 12 of the more suspicious looking ones have been removed over the past 10 years; they were all considered “mildly atypical”. I get a skin exam ever 6 months.

And yes, nobody believes my age.

The real question is are they really not aging or are you so busy looking at their moles you don’t notice the wrinkles........

I get a skin exam ever 6 months.

I wish Eva Cassidy had done that.

I have several moles as well, none on my face. At one time I thought it was a curse to look so much younger than my real age (thanking God and good genetics now).

“I’ve got Jack Russells. They keep me mole free.”

Around here any Jack Russells would be eaten by coyotes.

It doesn't hurt to keep a few around, just in case. Mine also protect my house from the Wildebeest. Never have had a Wildebeest attack around here. You're welcome.

I have 2 and I had thought about having them removed but my mother and sister both did and had terrible scars, I figure the moles lood better.

I had a lab tech with a rather prominent mole on her nose. Eventually, she went doctor shopping, found a doctor (a plastic surgeon) she was comfortable with, and went for a mole removal.

Despite the mole being on such a prominent part of her face, the removal left her without even a trace of a scar.

We generally get melanoma.

My mother got a melanoma on her back in 1978. She had two surgeries and has been cancer-free ever since.

Her oncologist told me at the time that since I have moles in the same places, I should stay out of the sun as much as possible, which I've done. So, 32 years later, at age 50, I look like I'm in my 30s, and my only wrinkles are some very minimal crows' feet. I get my moles checked out every six months by doctor, every month by mom (we check each other in a completely non-TSA sort of way).

Wow! And I thought it was that cream with the magic melons in it that she pushes on TV.
