Q: Should i worry about the moles that have grown and gone darker since my pregnancy?

I have had a strip of small moles on my shoulder since i was a child and now 1 of the middle ones has grown and become darker in colour. I also have 1 on my vigina which has become raised and looks swollen. Should i be worried, or is this normal hormone changes affecting them?

Moles should not change during or after pregnany due to hormones so I would get them looked at by a dermatologist.  thereafter have a yearly head to toe dermatology exam including your scalp.
