Possible Mole Behind Ear. I’ve Cut off. Very worries.

I’ve had a mole or growth which is of white colour growing behind my ear for at least 5 years. Recently it has doubled in size & became sore to touch.

Not wanting to waste NHS time I have twice sliced it off with a razor blade. On both occasions it took over 2hours to stop bleeding.

Of course a silly thing to do. 
Is it possible anyone can guide me in the right direction.

    I agree with Angie, the best thing to do is to get a GP appointment. I am not sure if this mole has regrown since you last tried to cut it off or if you cut it off again recently, but either way your GP can make an assessment to decide if it is anything to be concerned about or if you need to see a skin specialist (dermatologist) about it. 

    I think you already know, that it isn't advisable to try and cut of skin growths or moles yourself, so please don't do this again.  As Angie explainiend there is the risk that if a growth or mole is a type of cancer, some of it might remain when it should all be removed. However we don't know if this growth/mole is anything to worry about so to find out, do get in touch with your doctor to get their input - I am sure they would want you to see them about this. 

    Give us a ring of you want to talk anything over. Our number is 0808 800 4040 an we are around from 9-5 on weekdays.

    Wishing you the best,
