New dark spots on vulva

Hi 

I've recently got 3 new moles dark spots like moles appear on my vulva along with labial fusion, ulcer, and lots of easy tearing. My GP referred me to gynecologist under 2 week wait timeline but the gynecologist said they can't say anything about the moles and said GP need to refer me to dermatology. Now the dermatology is saying they can't see me as they don't do vulval excision or biopsies and refer these case back to gynaecology. It's already been three weeks of me struggling with this anxiety of not knowing. Where do I go ? What should I do ? Please guide me.  I feel so lost and alone in this.

  • How upsetting by and annoying. Get back into your GP - it's their job to refer you to the department that can deal with this. The GP should contact the hospital and speak to them rather than you being pushed from pillar to post. Perhaps ask to go to a larger hospital that excels in melanoma investigation and treatment. Good luck and I hope you get seen quickly,

  • Thanks! I will ring my GP tomorrow again. It's so difficult to get hold of the GP too. It's insane.... I am based at Oxford so there at two big specialist hospitals in town. The struggle of long waits and getting to the right person adds so much to the anxiety.
