I noticed this morning that two moles I've got on my left breast had been bleeding. They look a bit odd too, not like the other moles, they look like lots of little circles.

I've rung the doctors and they can't get me in until Monday, unless it's an emergency (which I don't consider it to be). But I'm worried now, please reassure me!

To be honest, I would say that moles which are bleeding and look odd should be seen as an emergency. Sorry, but I really do.

I am sorry that I cannot reassure you either.
Would suggest you seek prompt medical attention and would go to A & E. Moles that change like this need further investigation.

You should see your doctor if you answer 'YES' to any of these questions.

  1. Has your mole increased in size recently?
  2. Has your mole got an irregular edge?
  3. Is the colour of your mole uneven or irregular?

    You should see your doctor if you answer 'YES' to two or more of these questions

  4. Is your mole more than 7mm in diameter? (larger than the end of a pencil?)
  5. Is your mole looking red and inflamed?
  6. Is your mole itching, or does it feel odd in some way?
  7. Is your mole bleeding or oozing fluid?
