Worried about mole

Im a 18 year old female. I'm worried about a mole i've got on my back. i've had the mole for as long as i can remember however i've realised its two colours. it has always been raised off of my skin. i'm not sure if it has always been two colours but i've just noticed. i don't use sunbeds. i always use sun cream. i'm dark blonde with fair skin. i live in yorkshire so it's rarely extremely sunny and i'm always covered up. there's no history of cancer in my mums side of the family. my grandma from my dads side had breast cancer but was cured and has been okay for decades now. am i worrying too much?

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    I am afraid that we cannot tell you what this and if it is anything you should be worried about. The best thing to do is to get it checked out by your GP. You might be asked to take a picture of it and may be asked to see a dermatologist. So do make a GP appointment.

    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.

    Take care,
