My mole

I have a small mole on my left arm and it feels slightly raised I am having treatment for my right arm melanoma but not sure what to do as a couple if weeks ago my consultant looked at this mole and didn't see anything wrong 

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    I am sorry to hear you are being treated for melanoma.

    I am afraid that we cannot tell you if the mole on your left arm is anything to be concerned about. You have shown it to your dermatologist so I do think if there was a concern that this could be cancer you would have been told.  

    The best thing I can suggest you do is that when you next see the dermatologist, you tell them what is worrying you.  The doctor may then look at the mole again and give you more information that may help to reassure you.

    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
