I have this weird mole thing on my calf and I'm really worried it may be skin cancer. I don't know what to do next. I'm really worried. Going to make an appointment with GP today. My leg is quite sore and achey, don't know much about symptoms.
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear that you're worried by a mole you've noticed on your calf. You're doing the right thing in going to see your GP and if they think it needs further investigation an appointment will be made for you to see a skin specialist at your local hospital.
As you will see from this information on signs and symptoms of melanoma having a sore, achy leg is not a symptom but make sure that you mention this as well to the GP.
Do come back and let us know how you get on when you see your GP.
