Has anyone had a mole checked out in a child and was it taken seriously by your GP? DS2 has one that until a month ago looked like a regular freckle on top of his ear. It's now much larger, raised, peeling and painful but still fairly symmetrical. I'm getting it checked tonight but I know problems with moles are very rare, but not impossible, before the age of 20. I'd much rather it was removed jic rather than left because he is young because it looks like if it's not a problem now then it will be in the future. Does anyone have any experience with this?
