Mole on back of head

hi all Iv had a mole on the back of my head for about 6 month plus, I had thought it was just  a wart but over the last couple of weeks it’s gone red and has scabbed over on the top. I went to see my gp today and he said it was a benign mole but I have really bad health anxiety and when i have googled it it says it’s a Basel cell cancer should I get a second opinion 

thanks for reading

  • Hi Liam,

    Did your GP look at the mole through a dermascope? Does the GP specialise in dermatology? If no to these questions I suggest you see a different GP at the practice for a second opinion which you are entitled to. Don't use Google because it's not helpful - just get it checked again for your peace of mind. Good luck and let us know how you get on,
