Suspicious mole

Groundwork
Offline

Hi just alittle worried about a mole or skin lesion on the right side of my chest, I had it checked a few months ago now and the specialist didn't seem that interested to be honest, I told her that it keeps changing colour and size, so she took a picture and let me on my way, since then I have took pictures of my own as it changes, 

Should I go and get it checked out again and show my pictures to, the specialist I saw last time made me feel like I was wasting her time, so what should I do my age is 34

  • Hello, and thank you for posting.

    It sounds good that your mole has recently been seen by a specialist and they were not concerned that it was anything suspicious. If you feel it has changed significantly since then do contact your GP and show it to them.

    It is difficult when you are worried about your health. It might be good to talk these ongoing worries through with your Doctor to help you feel better.

    Take care and I hope you know more soon.

    Sarah.
