Hi,

I was referred to dermatology in March 2025 for a suspicious mole on my nose. The dermatologist lost my notes and spent 3 mins with me, ignored my high risks, told me it was a benign lesion and sent me home. I put in a complaint to PALS as I was not convinced and have been gaslit a lot by the medical profession before (I have lots of medical conditions) and the dermatologists had a meeting and agreed I needed a second opinion. I saw a lovely dermatologist on 2nd July 2025, he looked at my nose and decided there was a risk of a BCC and that I needed a biopsy. I signed paperwork and had photographs taken. 

it is now 20th July 2025 and I have had no appointment for a biopsy and I checked my NHS app, and it states my appointment that day was apparently ‘cancelled’. I have however had a letter through stating his findings and that I would be having a biopsy. 

how long should I be waiting for this biopsy? I assumed this would be a bit quicker. I have medical PTSD and feel a bit stressed about this.
