Hi all,
I have a mole at the top of my back and it has recently started to become itchy, it's really worrying me.
is there a way I can post a photo on this forum so I can show you all to see if anyone has anything similar?
thanks
sarah

Welcome to the forum Sarah although I'm sorry for the worry this mole is causing.
Our nurses will get back to you tomorrow but whilst you wait I just wanted to let you know that photos are not allowed as we cannot diagnose or give a medical opinion via the forum. You can find out more in our terms and conditions.
Kind regards,

Hello Sarah and thanks for your post
I'm afraid no one here on Cancer Chat including the nurses can diagnose anyone. Our system does not accept photographs and our standard advice is to talk things over with your GP.
But moles are common and the majority are harmless, but they should always be checked out if they change shape or colour. This does not always mean that anything serious is wrong, but they should be checked just to be on the safe side.
So do make an appointment when you can to see your GP. 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.
Kind regards,
Celene
