Worries about a rash thats developed around my mole.

Worried as have developed what looks like eczema/ pyrisos rash around a mole on my back. The area look like a map but only around the area of the mole and then small birthmak like spots on the same side of my back. Mole is located upper right. I have been taking poctures for a few years but had left looking at the mole as is on my back i dont see it but my partner pointed out the rash which caused me to look back at other photos of the mole. With covid 19 is there any where i could send the pictures too?

  • Hi,

    The rash is more than likely not connected to the mole but I would certainly get it checked out. Currently, Gp's are doing telephone appointments & then they ask you to email the photos to them. If they think it needs further examination they then send them on to dermatology who will decide if you need the GP to make a referral to see dermatology. So give your GP a ring tomorrow and start the ball rolling.

    Good luck & I hope you manage to get it sorted out quickly. Please let us know how you get on,
