Hi,
I have 2 suspicious looking moles located on my upper left arm and chest. The one on my arm is mostly brown with black dots in the centre and along one side and is raised. Had it for about a year, but concerned as sure the black dots in the centre of the mole have increased in size. The one on my chest is a new mole and is raised and significantly larger than other moles on my body. Went to the GP last week and was seen by a GP who took photos and said he was going to do an urgent referral for them to be looked at by a specialist. However, 2 days later the surgery rang and said that a different GP wanted to see me today (8days after initial appointment). I went to the appointment today and saw the same GP as last week who asked if I had been worried and then said a different GP from the same surgery was going to have a look. This doctor had a very quick look down the dermascope, said they were benign and that was it. Literally was in the room for less than 2 minutes. Very confused as to how one GP can think they need an urgent referral, yet the following week I'm told all is OK when a specialist hasn't looked at them. I'm guessing I'm no longer being referred? Do you think this warrants a second opinion?
