Hi all,
I had a mole that turned into a blood-type blister last year. Two GPs looked at it (one of which specialises in skin conditions) and they were happy it wasn't anything sinister, just a collection of burst blood vessels under the skin.
Earlier this week I went for my second check up, my GP has noticed a change and is no longer convinced its nothing to worry about and has referred me to the Dermatology clinic at St. Bart’s.
I have a strong family unit in Derby, I live with my boyfriend who I love very much and have plenty of friends, however I just cannot bring myself to talk to anyone about what is going on in my head. I don't want them to feel the same levels of fear and pessimism that I am feeling, because it is the worst feeling in the world.
I am currently awaiting an appointment at St. Bart’s. Can anyone give advice on what will happen on the day / what the staff are like / anything I can do to prepare / good questions to ask?
