I have a mole on the side of my neck - kind of where a necklace would fall.

I've always had it, and have shown it to the Dr before, who said it looked fine.

Anyway, I noticed the other day that it was stinging and looked like it had been bleeding.

Went back to the GP and showed him, and straight away he said that it would have to come off. He measured it with a tape and said that he would send me to a dermatologist at the hospital and that I should have an appt within 2 weeks.

3 days later I got an appointment through for the following week - This Friday coming.

I'm literally making myself sick with worry that it may be a melanoma

Having said that, I remeber waking up a couple of nights before I noticed it was sore, and scratching my neck, catching the mole.

Anyway, whatever it is, it will have to come off - but worried about that too

I have.

I went to my dentist a year or so ago & he was on holiday and there was a South African guy filling in.

He said he'd seen a lot of skin cancer back in South Africa and suggested I get the mole on my face checked out as it looked "nasty".

Well as you can imagine I was scared witless. I've had the mole on my face since birth and I'd not noticed any difference in it over the years but he was a "medical man" and from "South Africa" so maybe I'd missed something.

I immediately made an appointment with my GP who said "what an idiot" (the dentist not me), he was 80% sure it was fine but due to the fact it was on my face & in the sunlight more often than other parts of my body he referred me to the hospital to get it removed.

I was still scared it was cancer & I was also scared it would leave a scar on my face but it was all fine. I was in & out in an afternoon & had the all clear within a couple of weeks. There is a tiny scar obviously but nowhere near as bad as I imagined & it's fading all the time.

Anyway, enough of the babbling, what I wanted to say was try not to worry I'm sure it'll be fine. I think if the doc had thought there was anything to worry about he'd have said something and not just referred you on.

Chin up hun. Hope it all goes ok.

I had a mole removed from my forehead a few weeks ago...it too had been bleeding and sore. It took less than 10 minutes for them to cut it out-doesnt hurt and I'm usually a wimp with things like that. About three days later the results were back and all was fine. So you don't need to wait long. The scar has healed nicely. Don't worry about it...better to have it removed and be on the safe side. x Good luck, hope it all goes well for you.
