abnormal moles - unsure whether to get it checked

hi everyone 

recently i've noticed i have a few moles which seem quite abnormal. the main one being on my hand. i have had this mole for a long time and was just a normal mole at first. it's been growing bigger for a few years now and i'd say the last year maybe has grown a lot more. it's about the size of an average mole, is raised and is black with an almost white lump underneath. 

 

i feel a bit silly going to the GP if it's nothing but feel i should get it checked out. i'm really not sure what to do

 

Thankyou

  • Definitely get it checked out. Your GP won't think you are wasting their time and you need to have peace of mind. If it turns out to be malignant, the quicker it's treated the better. Good luck and please let us know how you get on.

  • Definitely go get checked out.. Got my nearly 3 year old checked out and now under dermatologist and being monitored for dodgy mole on her scalp. Don't ever feel silly. Fact that you noticed it, and worried. Says to me get checked our and follow your instinct. Good luck.
