Skin Cancer... should i be worried?

New here I have always had the mark  for a few years but recently a new one has appeared (could be recent could have been there for ages) its on the side of my torso where the ribs are, very small....am i being over paranoid?

 

  • Hi,

    No one on the forum can tell from photos if a mole is of concern I'm afraid. As the mole is worrying you it always makes sense to get it checked out by your GP to give you peace of mind. Some GP's are still doing telephone appointments due to Covid & they then ask for photos to be emailed to them. If, on looking at your photos, the GP thinks the mole needs further investigation they will then send them through to the dermatologist for their opinion or they will justrefer you straight to dermatology. So phone your GP and get it checked out - the sooner the better - hopefully it will be fine. Good luck and please let us know how you get on,
