I’m a bit worried about a mole that’s appeared and seems to be growing

I went away on holiday to Bali in February this year , when I got back I went on sunbeds to try and keep up my tan . I’ve noticed a mole that wasn’t there before , it seems to be growing slightly in size , occasionally itchy too . I’m a bit scared of going to the drs with it .

    Hi MonaLisa1,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. Please don't be scared to see your GP. We are always advised to get any changes in size or shape investigated, as soon as possible. This is because, if it should turn out to be cancer, the sooner it is treated, the better the outcome usually is. Many moles are benign and I hope that this will be too, but, unfortunately, ignoring it, won't make it go away.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
