Hard lump under my mole on my chin

My mole under my right side of my chin has a hard lump under the skin. A week or so ago my mole was hurting then yesterday I noticed a hard lump just bigger then a pea has formed under the mole. I have contacted my GP and I have an appointment next Thursday at the dermatologist clinic. I am so nervous and worried to what this could be. 

  • Hello Sfenna16 and thank you for posting,

    I am sorry to learn that you have a mole that is causing you concern.

    I'm afraid until you see the doctor, no one can say what the cause of the lump might be. It is important to know it doesn't necessarily mean it is cancer. However, you have done the right thing by getting checked.

    It's easier said than done, but try not to overthink things. If you can, try not to search the internet, as this can heighten anxiety. Some people find it helps to keep busy by carrying on with their daily activities, such as working.

    I hope you have relatives or friends that you can lean on at this time. If you would like to talk things through with one of our nurses on the helpline, you would be welcome to give us a call. The freephone number is 0808 800 4040

    Take care,

    Jemma
