About three weeks ago, whilst applying sun cream to my legs on holiday, I noticed a mole/wart that I don’t think I’ve seen before. It’s half way up my thigh. I’ve looked at the ABCDE mole checker guide, and whilst it’s small, pale in colour, has regular borders and is symmetrical, I think I still want to get it checked out, because the surface is slightly pebbled. And also on the grounds of ‘better safe than sorry.’ I’m bracing myself for an urgent ‘two week’ referral, and am trying to be calm, because I gather that melanoma is usually cured if you catch it early on.
Has anyone been down this road? Half of me thinks I may be wasting my GP’s time, the other half of me thinks I’m being sensible.
