Worried about a mole

Hi please ignore this if its not appropriate to be on here....

I have LOTS of moles over my back and neck, they get checks fairly regularly.  The past few weeks one on my back has became itchy now and again, i have dry skin so i just kept moisturising it, it looked normal, pale, raised and shiny, but tonight i felt down my back and rubbed it and it came off  and wouldn't stop bleeding,  im in such a panic, any advice is more than appreciated.  Thank you xx

  • Hello VL and thanks for posting, 

    I can understand you asking, but unfortunately, I can't say with certainty if this mole is anything to worry about, but it may well not be and I don't think you need to panic about it.  To get peace of mind contact your GP or practice nurse and ask them to take a look at your back.  It could just be that scratching and rubbing has dislodged part of a regular mole which has caused the bleeding ( I assume this has stopped now).  

    I hope your GP surgery can help and that there is nothing serious going on.

    Best wishes,
