Need some advice on a mole

Hi my first time on here,

I have a mole on the top of my for many years, I went to the doctors about five years ago as it was getting bigger very slowly about 6 mm by 9 mm  it has irregular boarders and 3 colours in it, he said was fine, and to come back in in six weeks time to measure again witch was the same and said was fine.

Now 5 years on it's 10mm by 11mm and was not really changed in colour just slowly getting bigger, so went back to the doctors before Christmas and couldn't really get a face to face appointment,but did see a junior doctor said it's best to get it checked and referred me to see dermatologist non ergent , while waiting for an appointment I was checking on it very regularly, really getting paraniod about it . 

Then once I showed a friend in there room it was a completely different light than my dingy bathroom an notice it looked bit different anyhow panicked rung the doctors saying It might have changed, he Sayed take a photo and I sent to him they already had a photo to compare he said it looked a little pinker, in the end I was referred as 2 week,went last Friday saw the dermatologist nurse fill in the forms had photos taken, then she would ring me back in 72 hours, which she  did and said I will have to have excision biopsy , which is in two weeks, absolutely worried sick !! Any how since ringing the doctors 3 weeks ago I don't think it  had actually changed, I mean I haven't really seen a dematologid doctor face to face ? Yet 

I'm sorry just feeling very anxious and worried have come across this forum and just need to talk really 

Many thanks Martin

  • Hi Martin,

    The wait is horrible,but you done the right thing getting your Mole checked out. 

    I initially went to the docs to have a mole checked out on my back. Got refferred to determtoligist and they were more concerned about one on my chest,that I've had for years! Ended up getting 3 removed there and then. The one on my chest,had grown in side, irregular borders but one colour. I was worried sick waitijg for the results. Looked back on photos to check,and it had diuvked in size! Couldn't sleep,almost went sick at work because of the anxiety.

    The moles were fine. All begine. Hope that helps. Try not to worry yourself up too much like I did. 

    All the Best
