I have a mole on my back. I think it's always been there. Last year I knocked the top off it and it went scabby. My anxiety went through the roof. I saw my gp who looked at it through a dermoscope and she said it was nothing to worry about. Fast forward to now. I don't know if its bigger but because of where is it (on my bra line) it can irritate me. Its not itchy but it is raised. I saw a different gp on Wednesday (a locum) who said it wasn't his area of expertise and perhaps I should be referred to a dermatologist. I asked how concerned he was. He said there are 2 concerns
1 is where he thinks it is cancer
2 is where he wants someone else to have a look.
He said I don't fall under the criteria for no1 so I'm no 2
However he said there will be a long wait. As only if they think its possibly cancer its under 2 weeks.
I've just received a msg to say my appt is on Friday next week!! I'm in a complete panic now. Why would i be seen so quickly if it wasn't terrible?.I'm so scared and don't know what to do
