Worried about a mole

Hello two weeks ago i went to see a nurse about a mole on the back of my neck because it was firm and hurt and was itchy . The nurse was so lovely and took photos with a special camera and shown them to the doctor she said that it did not like anything sinster about it but was not a skin doctor so would make a appoinment to see one . Last wednesday i saw the skin doctor he looked at it twice and said no cancer . I was so so scared when ask has it always been the way it is i said yes but told him it was sore , tender , and itchy . What if me saying it had not changed in size it has always been big means i have cancer . Doctor said it is a unnas  naevus. Thank you

  • Hi there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about this mole you have that is concerning you. It is reassuring the dermatologist has assessed it as a unnas naevus which are usually benign (meaning non cancerous) type of mole.

    However if you wish you can always ask your doctor to refer you for a second opinion if you remain worried and have noticed changes.

    I hope you can get a greater sense of peace of mind soon.

    Do get back if you have further questions or if you prefer give us a call on 0808 800 4040, we're here weekdays 9-5.

    Best wishes
