It's great to hear that your mole is no cause for concern although I'm sorry about the lingering worry and doubt you still have.
I know how hard this must be with your health anxiety, but as you've been given the same opinion by two dermatologists I think you can be reassured that the mole is o.k.
Having said that, if you are still experiencing symptoms in that area, then there's no harm discussing this issue with your GP once more.
I'm not sure if the dermatologists fully explained what a benign naevus is, but if they didn't and you feel knowing more about it may help put your mind at ease, then I hope this information we have on our website will help.
Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar position will stop by soon to offer their thoughts and advice but we also have a team of nurses you can talk to on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
Kind regards,
