Hi I'm not sure if this is something to worry about?
I have a black raised which I think was a mole
on my leg. I have been checking it and it's been there for over a month now.
I'm not sure if I can post a picture can't forgive out how to?

Hello and thank you for your enquiry.
I'm afraid our system does not accept photos. Moles are common but they should always be checked out if they change shape or colour just to be on the safe side. This does not always mean that anything serious is wrong but they should be examined just to be sure. We always encourage people to make an appointment to see their GP .
During this current pandemic GP’s are offering telephone appointments initially with their patients. They may ask for a mobile phone photo to be emailed to them to have a look at the area of concern. If they need to see you they can offer you a face to face appointment.
I hope this helps. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Kind regards,
Vanda
