Hand hold - Mole has a black dot in it

[Laura3128]

Hi all,

I have a GP appointment next week to be seen but just looking for a hand hold/ has anyone else has a change like this and all been ok….

basically I have a small 2/3mm mole on my left breast, not in a area that would be rubbed by my bra etc, and basically when doing a monthly check of my breast I noticed that the mole had a little black dot/dots in it… now I am unsure if the black dot is new (I’m pretty certain it is) but basically has anyone had a mole change like this and be ok?

also, to note, I did have a baby 9 months ago but I didn’t breast feed etc.

Iv attached the picture

I had a black mole that suddenly grew on my back. The GP referred me as query malignant melanoma. I was shitting myself! The consultant agreed it looked suspicious and got me in urgently to have it removed.

Anyway, it turned out to be a completely benign mole. It just shows you, no one not even a consultant dermatologist, can tell whether a mole is benign or not just by looking at it.

You are right to get it checked.

Oh and also, the mole on my breast has been there years, it’s the new black dot that is the change.

I don’t know how much it helps as it’s just my experience and I don’t want to put anyone off getting checked, but ai have moles with black spots in and not considered it an issue! Not sure when the spots appeared though

This happened to me. Old mole, new black dot, slightly raised.

Went to GP, referred to dermatology on 2 week pathway. Turned out it was a black head that had formed within the mole! DH gave it a squeeze and out it came!

Have added a photo of mine for you. As soon as I knew it was a black head it seemed really obvious that that’s what it was, but to be fair even the GP thought it was cause for concern after he looked at it!

Get it checked, but don’t panic yet.

Thanks all for coming back to me, GP appointment on Wednesday but the wait feels too long! The worry is constantly on my mind 😩

That’s probably not a mole, it could be a seborhoeic kerastosis think that’s the right spelling)

i had what I thought was a huge mole on my shoulder, until one day I caught it with a back brush and made it bleed. Suddenly the whole thing came off, and further research showed it was actually a big keratin build up. It bled for ages and I thought I was in trouble but eventually it disappeared and left only a little scar. Glad it’s gone but they should be lasered off by a dermatologist.

Get it looked at regardless

Obviously get it checked (with a dermatologist not the GP) but that looks normal to me.
