It has been present for a few months although it seems to have got a bit darker very recently.

Any changes to moles need to be checked
Out

PossiblyPertunia · 11/09/2021 21:26

I think this needs to be looked at ASAP.

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 11/09/2021 21:26

I'd go and show that to a professional type medico in fairly short order tbh.

marmiteloversunite · 11/09/2021 21:27

I would definitely get it checked especially as it has changed colour and looks a bit crusty.

HPmagic · 11/09/2021 21:29

It wasn't a mole it just appeared one day and I assumed cherry angioma but it has changed.

Thank you for your response, it does not bleed or anything and is very smooth (no crustiness)

Definitely GP as soon as you can. I'm the meantime if you're near a Boots/pharmacy that's open tomorrow go in and ask them to take a look.

Tanfastic · 11/09/2021 21:36

I would definitely get this looked at.

Haggisfish3 · 11/09/2021 21:37

Definitely get it checked.

Sweettea1 · 11/09/2021 21:38

Deffo get it looked at especially if it is changing could be something could be nothing but does need checking.

2bazookas · 11/09/2021 22:05

Yes. Please see your GP asap.

SpiedPiper · 11/09/2021 22:08

please get that checked asap

HPmagic · 12/09/2021 07:47

I'm going to ring the GP tomorrow and hope they see me face to face or allow me to send a photo.

Uneven edges, changes in appearance... absolutely needs checking!

lljkk · 12/09/2021 08:59

let us know what you find out? Probably nothing to worry about.

HPmagic · 12/09/2021 09:28

@lljkk I hope so, I'm 25 weeks pregnant with Dc2 so I have got myself all worked up about it now.

There are lots of non sinister things it will hopefully be. Just definitely worth checking out ASAP to be sure. I’ve had a horrible looking mole removed and it turned out just to be ‘atypical’ but never worth taking the chance obviously. Sending you best wishes. It’s nerve wracking things like this.

HungrySausage · 12/09/2021 10:08

It is quite common for moles to change/get darker during pregnancy, but this one still needs checking out because of its uneven edges etc. Better to be safe with a quick check. Hope all is okay.

lljkk · 12/09/2021 11:27

If you ever watch The skin Doctor, she's constantly removing ugly looking mole type things. She won't touch anything cancerous.
Reminder how most such growths are benign.

Haggisfish3 · 12/09/2021 14:13

The fact you’re pregnant is more reassuring. I got loads more moles/freckles as your placenta makes melanin.

HPmagic · 13/09/2021 11:46

Spoke to the Gp on the phone this morning and sent the Picture on. She is referring me under the 2 week pathway to Dermatology. Pending the Waiting List due to COVID.

SpiedPiper · 13/09/2021 16:59

Well done OP. They (should) always refer via 2 week pathway for anything like this so don’t be alarmed. Hope you’re feeling calmer for speaking to the GP and that your derm appt comes through nice ans quickly

Pleasepod · 16/09/2021 17:02

Hope you are doing okay OP Smile
