Mole raised, red and sore

I really need some help whilst I'm waiting for my appointment I've got a mole on my hip that has become raised red and sore in the past few days.

I'm extremely concerned please can you advise?

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about the concern you have about the mole.  I can appreciate this is a worrying time for you.

    It is never easy waiting to find out what could be the matter. In the meantime try not to google too much as that is not a reliable way to find out what, if anything, is the matter.

    You might find that posting in another category on Cancer Chat is helpful and gives you some support.  We have a category for people waiting for a diagnosis, you can see it here. 

    I hope you are seen soon. 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
