Please Help Someone, Major Health Concern!

Question

Here's my problem...

I have a mole on my back that seems bigger than it use to be, and a little harder and more raised...so naturally, I'm worried.

So I call 10 dermatologists in the area to see who can see me first, and the earliest ANY of them can see me, is 7 WEEKS from now.

That's unacceptable...i have something that COULD be cancerous on my back, and if that 7 weeks is the difference between it growing below my skin, it could be life or death.

How can I get around the long waiting process to see a dermatologist who can quickly determine if I need a biopsy on it or not?

Please I need this thing looked at fast.

Answer 1

If you are that concerned about it you should go to the ER. They cant refuse to see you right then. If it's something life threatening then they can do something about it.

Answer 2

Make an appt. at a family health clinic or the hospital. They're trained in all areas of general health and can usually do biopsies. My boyfriend went to a family health clinic to get his mole looked at and they biopsied it right there. Thankfully it wasn't cancerous. Call up some clinics, ask if they do biopsies, and ask when the soonest you can come in would be. Good luck and I really hope you're alright.

Answer 3

Hi there!

  You are just going to have to take the first appointment you can get. I know you are very worried - but this is not considered life or death.  So get yourself the first appointment you can get and try not to worry too much.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

Well if the mole is growing quickly, has a unique form (like it's not just a regular circle or oval), and if it is dark brown, then you should really have it looked at and maybe soon. My father had skin cancer, for years and nothing ever happened, so chill. Good Luck.
