Hi,
I am on holiday at the moment (in Belfast, not somewhere very hot!!), and was walking around in the sun the other day, I didn't have any sun cream on as it didn't seem that sunny. Anyway, that night my arm, and in particular one of my small moles (about the size of a pencil point) started itching. I woke up the next morning and it had turned black in the middle and hard and swollen with a red circle around it. Since then it has gotten harder (a bit like a scab), but it is still the same size, tiny.
I am now terrified that I have skin cancer and I obviously can't get to a doctor until I get home in a weeks time.
Does anyone know if this could be anything apart from skin cancer/why the mole has changed so suddenly?
Thanks
