Has anybody in the UK ever saw doctor about a growing mole?

Question

About 5 years ago I developed a small brown mole on my chest, being young I didnt bother to think about it but lately its been a little tingly and my fiance has said its more raised than usual. I want to go to the doctor about it but being a new mum im really worried to heasr any bad news. Does anybody know what will happen when I see doc, will I have to wait to see a specialist? any advice would help thanks

Answer 1

I am not in the UK, but if a mole is changing you do need to see a doctor.  When that happened to me, my doctor did a needle biopsy in his office, and then set up an appointment for me to have the mole removed.

Answer 2

if ur GP thinks its anything to worry about they'll set you up with a specialist at the hospital. They'll take a bi-opsy. If it does have cancerous or pre-cancerous cells cells, they'll just remove it. And you;ll have to have regular check ups on other moles. But its nothing major. My mums had a couple with pre-cancerous cells but she fine. I hope you do get it checked and its ok. =)
