Hello, was hoping for some advise please Pray

My GP referred me a couple of weeks ago on urgent cancer pathway Grimacing. I'd gone in for something else and just mentioned a couple of skin issues I've been having - so the referral was quite a shock!

Dermatology have called and given me an appointment this Friday. The thing is I have quite a few 'different' things on my skin. The one the GP seemed most concerned about was a large mole on my upper arm with inconsistent edges and different colours. I also have a scaly small patch on my lower arm which crusts over, falls of and repeats (about 6 months) and another mole on the shoulder which has sort of erupted into a white swelling (about 2 months). GP took photos of all 3 and sent them with the referral. Is it usual to have 3 different things going on, do you think? Thinking Wondering if it could be infection maybe as they're all on the same arm?

Since the GP appointment I've been extra vigilant checking my skin and have found some other areas which concern me ..... but im not sure it's me being abit paranoid. 

When you have the first appointment do they usually check you over completely or is it up to you to let them know about the other areas?

Sorry .... feeling abit overwhelmed at the mo.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you so much xxx
