Mole on my back - opinions?

6 replies

Custardtarte · 15/11/2020 21:26

Have a mole on my back that I've had for years. Can't see it myself for obvious reasons but my daughter says it's got bigger. She took a wee video for me. Seems to be kind of loose raised skin, that sort of bubbles. It's been itchy but as it's very close to my bra strap I think that's why.
Not sure if I should be getting it checked

I have tons of moles on my back and had them looked at a few times; I’d say it’s always worth getting a doctor to take a look if you notice any change. Itchiness can be a warning sign. My GP said the ones on my bra line were more raised because they were effectively skin tags - and I’ve been told in the past that they change with age. But still best to be on the safe side and get them looked at. Hope that helps.

It looks regular around the edges and the colour looks brown not black or red. So to me it looks ok.
But i am not a doctor. I also have a mole on my back that im a bit worried about.

Ring the GP. I will take my own advice later this werk.

It looks fine to me too for same reasons (not a doctor) BUT if it has changed then best get it checked. What I tend to do is take a picture then look at it again a month later to see if any change. If it has changed you can then show the GP the mole and both pictures.

Get it checked. No one will make you feel silly for getting it looked at.

It could be a seborrheic keratosis - sort of scaly warts, quite common as you get older. But, yes, if you’re worried get it checked out.

Just get it checked. I have one on my tummy a bit like that, it's not changing and is flat, but I keep thinking I must get it looked at.
