Helen, from Liverpool, England, explained that the mole had changed shape and urged other parents to keep an eye on a seemingly harmless mole after the ordeal.

The mother of two wrote on Instagram: “Hi guys, just wanted to drop by here and explain a little bit what Ocean had been up to at @greatormondst in London.

“Ocean was born with a mole on her chest that never bothered her or us, but in the past 6 months a black dot appeared that got bigger and darker along with her mole (it’s really changed shape since she was born).

“I took her to the doctors who were a little unsure what it was so they advised us to have it removed and have a biopsy done on it so here we are in London today visiting for 2 days . She was so brave and is recovering so well.”

Helen said the process was absolutely worth it and extremely fast – it took a month from the first doctor’s checkup to the mole removal.

She added: “I just wanted to point out to parents that if you’re ever in doubt, please see a doctor and get some advice. Ocean is totally fine and she’s still her sassy, ​​happy self,” she said.

“I wanted to thank all the nurses and doctors on Great Ormond Street, they were absolutely wonderful, so nice and helpful that I entrusted them to my daughter and they did not disappoint so thank you.”

Helen is still waiting for the test results and said she would update followers when the family knows more.

Parents quickly sent supportive messages to the family in the comments section of the post.

One wrote: “What a brave girl. Well done for trusting your instincts x”

Another commented: “Thanks for sharing and educating parents.”

This happened to me when I was a baby,” said another user. “They removed it from my face. I don’t remember anything about it [and] she probably won’t.”

Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: “My baby has a strawberry mole under her chin. It’s definitely gotten bigger in 8 months, but keep an eye on it. Thanks for the realization.”

The NHS website recommends seeing your doctor if you are concerned about a mole for any reason.
