Dried up mole

Hi ive recently been to the doctor about a mole on my stomach. They said it was perfectly fine nothing to worry about as it was very round and not cancerous. Ive just been on holiday and i noticed some blood om my top.  I checked the mole and saw that it had gone black suddenly and dried up to nothing like it had died. It came off in the shower! Any reaons ??? 

  • Hi,

    Moles can be OK and yet disappear but it's not common. Unfortunately moles can also not be OK and regress - this then causes a problem if someone develops symptoms of metastasized (secondary) melanoma as the primary (mole) can no longer be found. Has it left behind any mark on the skin? I would go back to your GP and push for a referral to dermatology so that the area can be examined.

    Hopefully it's a normal mole that's disappeared but it's worth getting it checked. Please let us know how you get on.
