Dodgy Mole removal

Hello, 

sorry In advance for the lengthy post. 

I’m new here and I just had a question or maybe two or maybe I just wanted a vent I’m not sure  

My husband noticed a mole on my back (I have lots of moles so I wasn’t really to concerned) I had an appointment with the Dr anyway for another reason so I mentioned the mole. He didn’t seem to like the mole at all and referred me to the dermatologist who saw me two days later. He didn’t seem to like the mole either and said it needs to be removed as soon as possibly. 

My appoinment came through for next Tuesday but I’ve missed two cancellations so I’m guessing I’m at the top of the cancellation list. I called this morning to see if there had been any and I managed to get one for Monday. The receptionist on the phone said that I needed a certain type of appointment (not a general mole removal) which is why cancellation is rare. 

I was just wondering if anyone had had anything similar and why I might need a certain type of appoinment and also what they mean when they say the mole is quite detailed. 

Thank you
