Mole on vulva

I recently discovered a mole on my vulva that's causing concern. It's relatively large, measuring 5-6mm in diameter, and it doesn't have a round or symmetric shape. The edges are not well-defined, which has raised my worries. I consulted my GP, who believes it's benign and doesn't see the need for a referral to a specialist or surgery. However, I'm still anxious about the possibility of it becoming cancerous in the future. I think it's best to remove it early, and I also want a second opinion from another doctor to ease my mind.

I'm also interested in finding a reputable private clinic that specializes in mole removal, particularly for vulva moles. I understand that many private clinics offer mole removal services, but vulva moles can be unique due to their sensitive and complex location.

  • Hi,

    Get it checked out by another GP at your surgery - you are entitled to a second opinion. Push for a BUS referral or at least get the GP to point you towards a private consultant that deals with this type of area. Good luck and please let us know how you get on,
