Moles being checked at hospital. What will happen?

Hi, i have got an appointment at the hospital for my mole as it's started to change in size, shape and colour iv also noticed that it can go scabby then the scab will fall off? But the mole is still there? Is this normal?  Also I have a small mole next to it and thats changing will the plastic surgeon want to test this too even? We have a very high skin cancer rate in my family, that's why I think iv got my appointment. 

  • Hi Laura.

     

    try not to worry too much. I know that's easier said than done.

    I've just had a very similar situation and the histology came back as benign and there is a high rate of melanoma in my family. 
     

    it's likely they will take some photos and then possibly excise the mole at a later date. But they may do this at the same time but probably not as they may not have the equipment ready. 
     

    all the best, I'm sure it'll be fine.
