Funny looking mole

I have a mole that has 3 different colours through it, it's smaller than the 6mm's I keep reading about for getting checked. It's on my back so I've never noticed it before, I'm not sure if it's because it hasn't been there, or because my back isn't something I see often. It stood out because one of the colours is very black. It's not at all raised. Should I be going to my GP, or am I wasting an appointment? Has anyone had a mole with several colours that have turned out to be fine? Thank you

    Hi Erin,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. If this is worying you, why not see your GP for advice, even if only for your own peace of mind? You will not be wasting an appointment. If it is something untoward, the sooner it is treated, the better the outcome is likely to be.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Hoping for good news!

    Kind regards,

  • Hi,

    As Jolamine says, see your GP for your peace of mind. They won't think you are wasting an appointment, they would rather you see them as soon as you find a worrying mole as it means it can be treated quickly, if malignant. Hopefully it will be fine - Good luck and please let us know how you get on,
