Worries about a new mole

Hi 

i have just discovered what I believe to be a new mole on my back that feels crusty to touch. I've never posted on here before but is it possible to post a picture for opinions? I am ringing the doctors first thing Monday morning. I have bad health anxiety since my dad died 6 years ago to the day from prostate cancer. My grandma had skin cancer too and I am just such a worrier. 
 

thank you

  • Hi, just wanted you to know you are not alone, the only advice I can give you is to definitely ring the doctors, but I know it doesn't stop you worrying. I am going Wednesday to have a lesion removed following a phone consultation where I sent a picture and the doctor said he couldn't tell what it was from a picture so best to remove it......since then I am constantly checking my skin and have found several moles/marks I am convinced look suspicious so am going to ask him to check at the same time. But I am like you, such a worrier and making myself feel ill with it all, I lost my sister in April to cancer (not skin) and my dad a couple of years ago. Good Luck on Monday, I will keep my fingers crossed for you x

  • Thanks so much for replying. It's awful just waiting and worrying isn't it. Sorry to hear you lost your sister and dad! Hope it all goes well on Wednesday x
