    Molescan during pregnancy

    I haven't actually had a proper 'molescan' before, just been to the Drs to get checked.
    But all they're doing is taking little photos of your skin aren't they? So that's ok when pregnant?

    I think its fine & safe to have a molescan when pregnant.
    I *think* I have heard though that during pregnancy your skin (pigmentation/moles etc) can be affected by the hormones - making some moles look different, so its always best to have a follow up mole check down the track.

    Thanks Ambah! Yeah, I was thinking about that too and wondering if it would be innacurate. Spose I should just ring them and ask, lol.
