Hi,

Any mole that's causing concern really needs checking out by your GP. I suggest you take a photo of it today and then make an appointment. If it changes by the time you see the GP you can show them the photo. They may decide it needs checking by a dermatologist - don't panic as 75% of patients referred to dermatology are given a clean bill of health so hopefully your mole is fine.

Good luck and please let us know how you get on,

Angie (Stage 3 melanoma patient since 2009)

Thank you very much for your reply. 
I have taken a photo but at the moment it looks like a spot that I've picked. Would you suggest I wait until it's a bit more healed? You wouldn't even know there was a mole there at the moment. I feel a bit silly showing a photo when it looks nothing like a mole at the moment.

Thank you

Ring your GP as it may be a while before you can get an appointment anyway. By then it may have changed.

Just an update..

I saw a dr about it, they had a look as said it looked lighter and less defined so quite hard to look at but nothing of concern that they could tell and to come back if it changes.

it's been 3 weeks since my appointment and it seems much lighter than it used to be. There is a tiny dark dot there, and it's gone a bit dry again.

Would you advise going back? I'm not entirely sure if I'm just over worrying now. My husband thinks it's maybe still healing but im not sure.
 

thank you
