Small growth on pubis

I have finally gone to my gp about small growth on pubis, I have been embarrassed and concerned and finally bit the bullet. I had cin 2 and hpv result in 2018/2019 and lletz treatment, within weeks of the lletz this a small growth appeared  just above the vaginally area on the pubis. It seemed like a wart to me. White around the edges bit purplely in the middle. I had 2 doctors take a look today with one pointing out her mole on her nose and saying its the same, hers is dark brown and does not look the same to me. Regardless she thinks its a mole. I'm being referred to a dermatology place to look at. They did not seem concerned and was basically asking me what I'm worried about I said well the timing of the growth seems suspicious to me and while its still small it has grown alot and I assume will continue and ultimately I want it gone. Gp gave me like an emergency contact card for dermatology which says I've been referred for 2 week speed appointment due to suspecting cancer. 

Anyone else had growths appear after lletz treatment?

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been to see your GP about some changes that you've noticed. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious but it's good to know that your GP has referred you to see a specialist. Hopefully, they will be able to give you some reassurance about things. 

    I'm unsure if we've any members who have been through similar but if anyone sees your post and has some words of support, I'm sure they will post a reply.
