The lettings manager from Exeter is still waiting for the results from the mole, but says she is 99 per cent sure the results will be fine.

She decided to share her mole journey with her followers to urge others to get their own moles checked and to show the small scar she has from the surgery.

According to the NHS website, moles are small, coloured spots of skin that most people have. They’re not usually a cause for concern unless they change size, shape or colour.

Some moles can be a sign of melanoma, a type of skin cancer. You should visit your GP if you notice a change in a mole.

This includes a change of shape, changes colour or gets darker, starts itching, crusting flaking or bleeding, or gets larger or more raised from the skin. These changes can happen over weeks or months.
