I found this, which makes me feel a bit better:

"Naevi are incredibly common but melanoma is rather rare. Nevertheless, any changing naevus should be viewed with suspicion. However, the commonest cause for a naevus changing is inflammation as a result of either injury or infection. Skin surface antibiotic creams are therefore often very helpful for an inflamed mole but if the inflammation fails to settle within a few days then a medical opinion needs to be sought."

(naevi = moles)

(grin) The MotM has a naevi which has had some rather extensive examinations, including ultrasound.

But then, it's on her retina.

Uncommon, but common enough not to call the medical students over every visit. n.n
