Hi, 

I went to my GP beginning of the month as have a mole that is very itchy & has changed shape. She seemed to think it wasn’t anything serious but at the same time didn’t really sound very convincing. Took some photos which she then advised mine I sent her were better and I then had to help her take the images! 
We didn’t discuss anything she just said that she would refer me to the dermatology department & that I’ll hear back at some point. Didn’t discuss the process etc just said they’ll contact you & out the door I went. 
3 days later I was on the nhs app and I noticed I had a referral showing & an appointment had been made for today but not a face to face. (2ww digital dermatology melanoma - not for patient attendance)

So I’m just wondering how long it normally takes to hear back. Assuming the images I/we took were ok how long do we wait to hear back if it’s nothing to worry about or if further action is needed? 
im trying to not think about the mole but it’s so itchy & scabbing over that it’s a bit of a pain. I have googled to try and find info out but I have nothing. So I’m left wondering if they’ve actually viewed the images yet or am I waiting for some correspondence if so how long are we left waiting! 

anyone have any info (completely aware different areas of the country will have different waiting times…just curious of the process) 

thanks
