Over the last few days I’ve had a weird sensation/pain in my back, I first noticed it just when my hair was brushing the skin. It kind of felt hyper-sensitive, wouldn’t really call it a pain, just the kind of sensitivity you get when you’re getting ill with flu or something if you know what I mean, except this time localised to just one area. I couldn’t help but notice that this area has a mole in it which is small but slightly atypical and I’ve been to the doctors about it before - they have always told me it’s fine. The mole hasn’t changed at all apart from this sensation which I can’t even point to being directly just where the mole is but the general patch of skin around that area! I’ve got a doctors appt on Friday but I’m worried they’re not going to do anything, I’m desperate for a referral to a dermatologist as I want to get this mole checked properly by an expert for peace of mind. I would probably pay for private if I can’t get a referral but I don’t really have the money to do that so want to try via my GP first if I can. Can I be persistent about a referral? Should I be worried about this sensation? Could it be something else? I’m finding it hard to think about anything else at the moment and am worried sick the sensation is a melanoma spreading or something awful.
