Help- I have a small mole that almost looks like it has a dry layer of skin on it

Sorry for the random question. I have had a very small mole (under 1cm)  on my chest my hole life. I've had it checked before and all was ok. However just now I brushed my hand over my chest and felt it and it feels a bit peely almost like dry skin. It hasn’t changed size or shape at all and has always been slightly raised but this almost dry skin like feel it has now is worrying me. 

I'm of course going to call my GP and get it checked but the minute I googled it I'm getting worst case scenarios so I've come here hoping someone somewhere has had a mole that felt a bit dry/flaky and it wasn't sinister xxx 

Thanks in advance, I suffer from anxiety and this has sent me spiralling x 

  • Hello Mumblebee27

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some concerns about a mole recently. Hopefully, by now, you've been able to contact your GP and arrange to make an appointment. 

    In the meantime, please try to avoid searching Google as we know that this often leaves people feeling even more anxious and still with no answers. Your GP should hopefully be able to offer you some reassurance and if necessary arrange any appropriate referral or treatment. 

    Best wishes,
