Skin changes

  • Hi I’m currently waiting for my appointment on 2ww for a lesion on my face.

  • started as an itchy sun spot and is now darker in colour, raised and itchy. 
  • Worried that is may be a melanoma. Wish I could upload a photos 

  • Hello, and thank you for your post.

    I am sorry to learn of your situation. This must not be easy.

    Waiting for hospital appointments can be stressful and cause anxiety.

    We cannot diagnose you, nor do we have any doctors who can determine the cause of your skin changes. Only the doctor you have an appointment with can assess you and do any necessary tests, and can say.

    Easier said than done, but try not to overthink things and take it one step at a time.

    I hope you can get an appointment soon, and have friends and family you can lean on at this time

    If you would like to speak with one of our nurses on the helpline, you can give us a call on 0808 800 4040, and we are available between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

    Jemma
