Mole concern

Hi everyone

Essentially what the title says. I've had a mole near my armpit, almost on my breast area (literally covered by all vest top straps, bras etc. So pictures have been useless here!) And I'm not sure if it has changed shape or not. And I'm obsessing over it.

It's only about 2.5mm in size so is small like the rest of the moles I have (I have one large mole on my back and that's it).

I think I'm going to book in at the GP just in case as I'm starting to worry myself.

Just wondered if anyone had any success stories/support stories.

Thanks!

    Hi BexLuth0r, 

    I think it's a good idea if this mole is causing you any concern and making you worry to make an appointment with your GP just for peace of mind. Your GP will be in the best position to tell you whether the mole is fine. So give your doctor a call and make sure you can show them your mole and explain to the doctor why you are worried about this particular mole. 

    Many people worry about their moles and it's always best to get the reassurance you need by talking to a doctor. I hope you will hear from others here who have had moles looked at and investigated before. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern.

    Best wishes,
