Ok thanks, the reason I don't want to go to my doctor is because I once asked him about one of my moles and I felt he was too quick to brush off my worries - he just said you are too young for skin cancer but I have looked on the internet and melanoma is quite common in young people it says.
soory to post a stupid answer...................but like hailthechimp, when I saw the header 'Moles' I too thought it was the garden pest variety and was going to suggest using the soil that they throw up on your flower bed, because I had heard it's very good soil.
