Mole

I have a large mole on my neck that is sore I have obviously done the google thing and was relieved at the thought that the pain was a spot underneath the mole lol, however after looking closely in the mirror I have discovered next to my lumpy (sorry gross lol) mole there are small freckle like lighter coloured flat spots that are also painful. Now I am worried I have phoned doctors and will have an appointment for Monday as weekend now. I do have a photo but unsure how to attach it? I guess I am looking for honest answers as google not

much use with my particular situation, thank you 

  • Hello and thank you for your enquiry.

    I'm afraid I can't tell you if this mole is or isn't anything to worry about, as nurses, we don't comment on photos.

    You can read about the sorts of changes to look out for in a mole on our website at this link, 

    www.cancerresearchuk.org/.../symptoms

    If you notice any of these you should always see your GP/family doctor to get checked out.  

    As you are worried and unsure, it might be an idea to arrange an appointment with your GP so they can take a look at this mole and hopefully put your mind at rest.  

    Best wishes,
