Moles

In the absence of any UK replies, my experience was similar in France. I had a small mole on my arm, which seemed to be spreading. My GP took a cutting, sent it off and the result came back within a fortnight. Pre-cancerous.
I had to go to a specialist hospital to have it cut out, local anaesthetic.
TG I haven't had a recurrence.

Thank you Tricia. I'm glad things are ok now for you.

Polly - I had a mole removed from my face in June last year and I had the hospital appointment just 3 weeks after I had seen the G.P. (NHS). I was concerned of course but it turned out not to be anything sinister and I hope all goes well for you.

Thank you Mrs Jones. I'm very glad that everything turned out well for you. I'm feeling a lot less worried today.

polly they do seem to get you in quick but that really is nothing to worry about

Thanks everyone. I just want Friday over so I know where I stand.

I've seen the consultant today. He says it's not cancerous but has potential to become a melanoma. For that reason he want to remove it. I won't have to wait longer than 31 days, so all good. Thank you NHS.

That's good news, sounds like mine, Polly.
It was a simple procedure, and TG didn't return.
