Query skin cancer

Hi, I'm having a mole removed this week cause dermatologist was a bit concerned about it. Anyone any feedback im freaking out as to why they are removing it is it common for removal and are the majority benign? It's 4mm but has a few colours and an abnormal shape 

 

  • Hi and thanks for posting

    It can be worrying having moles/ skin lesions removed, but the majority are benign.

    No one will be able to say how things will turn out for you, though hopefully all will be well.

    It's worth bearing in mind though, that many people , especially in the older age group, have skin cancers some of which are very local , easily treated by removal and do not have the capacity to spread.

    I hope all goes well for you. Do give us a call if you'd like to chat about any of this - Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    All the best
