Mole

Recently, I've noticed a mole on my arm has started going scabby, and it's turning black. It's hurt when I touch it, it sends like what i can describe as a shooting pain down my arm and it aches when I'm not touching it, I noticed it on Sunday as the scab started bleeding it wasnt as black then, but since then, it's grown a tiny bit and turned really black. 

 

 

 

I'm going to try ring the doctors about it but it's hopeless trying to get an appointment these days. Does it sound like I've reason to worry and ring just don't want to be wasting there time 

  • Hello there

    It can be a worry to notice a change to something like a mole that has changed and it is worth getting it looked at just to be on the safe side.

    Unfortunately no one here can say for sure if this is something to be worried about or not, whilst there could be a number of explanations for the scab and bleeding that followed so persevere with contacting your surgery to see a GP or a nurse practioner would also be an appropriate person to see about this.

    Best wishes
