Q: New Moles - Help Please!

2 weeks ago I noticed a new mole on my big toe on the thick-skinned part. It is light brown with a darker bit, and about 2mm diameter. I am aged 38 and thought I shouldn't still be developing moles. I went to my doctor, and he said he was not concerned by it enough to remove but to keep watching it.

Yesterday, a new mole appeared about 2mm away from the first one. Is this anything to worry about? I don't want to go back in case he thinks i'm a hypochondriac, but i'm concerned that 2 moles have developed so quickly in the same place. Any opinions appreciated!

Thanks,
jojo

This may be nothing or they may be carcinomas (skin cancera & yes they can kill given time) insist he take a biopsy or better yet get a referral to a specialist & suggest that the specialist look into the groundbreaking research at the university of newcastle in new south wales, australia where they are about to start trials (human I think) having discovered by accident that the flu virus if injected into a carcinoma destroys the cancer cells & apparently then it develops & goes on to destroyu other cancers, even ones as yet undiagnosed!!.
