mole

Offline

few years back (2018) I had noticed that I had a flat surface brown mole behind my toe. i had went to my GP and they told me it's nothing. now I have just looked at it again and 1 side kinda looks like it's 'fading', it hasn't changed still kinda looks the same from when I first got it checked out. 
I know it's been a few years since I have gotten it looked at by a doctor but when I look at it myself it always looked the same until now. 

i have been reading online and I believe it could be asymmetrical which is making me worried. i have booked a GP appointment and shown them my mole. I'm freaking out.

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your concern. You did the right thing in getting a GP appointment. All I can say is that most lumps and bumps turn out to be nothing serious. 

    I hope your appointment goes well and you will be okay and that you have support from family and friends. 

    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,

    Caroline

    hi 

    thank you. it's not a lump or bump it's a flat surface brown mole. it hasn't changed except one side seems to be somewhat fading, I don't know if that's something strange but I should hopefully get a appointment with my GP soon, thank you.
