Hi,
Yesterday I had 2 moles removed that the dermatologist was concerned with. Just wondering how long others waited for results as I have been told 4-6 weeks…. So long.
Thanks
Kirsty

Hello Kirsty138
I'm sorry to hear that you're currently waiting for biopsy results after recently having 2 moles removed. We know that for many people this period of waiting and uncertainty can be difficult.
From the many posts we've seen here on the forum, there is certainly a longer wait than most people would like for dermatology results. We know across the UK, people are waiting many weeks, and in some cases months, to get their results. If you've not heard from the dermatology team within the time frame that you were given, then do give them a call to find out when you may hear some news.
In the meantime, we have some tips and advice on coping with waiting for news that you may find helpful. If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
I hope that you have some answers and reassurance soon. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on.
Best wishes,

Hi Kirsty.
I hope you are doing ok.
I am due to have 2 moles removed on 20th November and was told it would then be a 6-8 week wait for results.
It seems like such a long time doesn't it.
Just to say you're not alone!
Take care xx
