Change in a mole

Hey everyone im after some advice

i had a small slightly raised freckle like mole on my back i woke up this morning and my back was itching i then felt that is had got alot bigger i got my other half to take a photo, its red like a spot and feels although its slightly hanging off its also quite itchy, i have never noticed it before is it possible ive caught the mole that was there or can you get an actual spot on a mole?

i know i should get it checked as soon as and i plan on calling my doctor first thing but id just like some advice and reassurance in the meantime
Not sure if i am able to upload pics on here but if i can please could someone tell me how

 

thankyou in advance 

  • Hi,

    I'm afraid you can't upload photos as it's against the forum terms and conditions. This is because no one on here can diagnose whether the mole/spot is suspicious. 

    It is possible to get a skin infection under or around a mole and it's also possible to catch a mole, especially if it's like a skin tag. Whatever the possibilities though, you need to get it checked out by your GP so they can decide if it's fine or not. Good luck and please let us know how you get on.
