Birth mole had growth

On the mole category . I had a sudden growth under my pre existing elevated  birth mole . Was white and cauliflower red edges which was causing pain . By the time I was seen it had all but gone away w some redness left behind .  She deemed my birthmole was irritated and shaved it off for testing . Came back normal . My fear is that the cauliflower that disappeared was the actual problem . Read about disappearing f moles so I continue to be worried . I still years later continue to get twinge n discomfort from that area . 
 

  • Hello MayDEN

    I'm sorry to hear that you have some ongoing concerns about a mole that has changed. It's understandable that many people still feel anxious about health concerns even after being given reassurance by a specialist. 

    Do keep monitoring this mole and if there are any further changes or you're unhappy with it then speak to your GP as they will be best placed to arrange any appropriate referrals or tests. 

    If you want to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    Best wishes,
