Referred to skin clinic

I have a mole that GP says he isn't too concerned about but referred me due to it being sore /sensitive to touch/growing. Its on my braline on my back so I'm not sure what happens... Will they leave it even though it's being irritated by clothing?

 

Some days it's fine, other days it really is sore. Its not bleeding or flaky thankfully.

 

I'm not sure how long to expect to wait for an appointment for?  The letter I got about referral suggests I will hear about an appointment  within four weeks, but with covid pandemic I'm not sure. Hopefully it's nothing

  • I received a letter to say the wait to b seen is longer. I'm still concerned as the mole still hurts. But they mentioned they might just do a video call instead of in person visit. I don't feel comfortable with this. .  I'm wondering if it's best to get it looked privately? I don't understand how a dermatologist can evaluate a mole properly with out a proper look at it with dermascope . 

     

    Anyone else having same issue or concern?
