I have by no means heard that having moles or freckles on the palms of hands or soles of feet are an indication and I don’t reckon this is right unless it doesn’t look like a healthy mole. I studied skin cancer at college and the normal things to look for is:
- change in size
- change in colour
- change in shape
- change in texture
If you spot any of these you should consult your doctor as soon as possible and have this tartan out as it could be pre-cancerous if not cancerous. You should keep an eye on your moles so that you can recognise any change. If you have any on your back you should get a name else to check it for you.
This link is from Cancer Research and gives you some information on moles and what to look out for. It’s a safe link.
