Hi,

Moles can be aggravated if caught, scratched etc so hopefully that's what's happened to yours. However, it's good that you have a dermatology appointment arranged and that you don't have to wait too long. Hopefully the consultant will be able to say that it looks fine through the dermascope but don't panic if they say it needs a biopsy to make sure they have a correct diagnosis. There is a chance it could be precancerous (dysplastic) so would need removing anyway. Good luck and please let us know how you get on.
