Mine is just above the hairline on the right, but halfway between the middle of the back of my neck, and my ear. I guess it doesn’t count. ---

Weird. I have one. I also have another on the left side, but father down - base of my neck. They are the same size and shape, and brown. I’ve had them my whole life. I’d like to get both cut off because I don’t like moles, but haven’t gotten around to it. My family is pale and moley but we don’t have much family history of cancer before age 85 or so. ---

Since at this point this consists mainly of people comparing notes on their moles, let’s move this over to IMHO. Colibri General Questions Moderator ---

Hmm- I have one almost exactly there; my Dad has one, and it seems like his father had one in almost the same place. I should have mine removed but never quite got around to it. Hasn’t killed me, yet. ---

God dammit, I have one too. I didn’t want to, but I reached back and there it was. ---

I opened this thread and initially thought it was the stupidest thing I’d ever heard. Then I checked and I do have one. Weird! ---
