Finding an unusual mole can be scary, especially if you don't know the difference between 'normal' and 'abnormal'. I had one a few years ago on my back, and it turned out to be normal but it freaked me out a bit. Here's a handy visual guide from Fitsugar on how to tell what's normal and what's not when it comes to moles. In a nutshell, look for:
- Uneven colouring
- Asymmetric shape
- Jagged (as opposed to smooth) border
- Diameter -- it should be no larger than a pencil eraser
