Hi a mole on my arm itched a little last week and then looked a bit different not sure if it's because I itched it. I looked at it through a home magnifier and looks a bit scabby. I have got my next skin check in 5 weeks , it's only a small mole so should I just keep an eye on it for now, I'm probably just being paranoid as had one 2 years ago on ankle.
Hi Miss mole
It's natural to worry when you notice something different with an existing mole, we all do it. Hopefully, it'll turn out to be nothing but if it changes then do get in touch with your SCNS. I was always reminded by my consultant that I didn't need to wait until my next check-up, if I had something of concern, and to phone the SCNS.
Hi thank you for reply. I've not actually been given a scns contact. I'm now back at my local hospital. They don't answer phone, I have to email there secretaries if it changes anymore before my next skin check. I will ask at next appointment if there any other way I can contact them. Next appointment maybe with a scns nurse.
