Hi Everyone,
I posted previously about a strange new mark growing on the underside of my big toe. Im still waiting to hear back from the specialists in the city.
I have another mole thats concerning me. I actually showed the GP this mole when I first showed her my toe. She said it was benign just by looking at it. It was slighly raised, a mix of dark browns and what looks like abit of red (Its hard for me to get a good look at, its at the top of my arm, sort of towards the back of it) and its about 6mm and abit asymmetrical, A few days later I randomly thought to have a look at it and the entire surface of the mole had crusted over and was like peeling? I pulled the top off and it had spots of pigment from the mole. it was now completely flat. This rang alarm bells with me, as this is exactly how my original melanoma behaved right before diagnosis. I rang the GP straight away and saw her the next day. She still mantained that it looked benign but because it had peeled and melanoma is unpredictable, she wanted to do an excisional biopsy. Unfortunately my appointment has been cancelled a few times, and I may get seen to next week, Today the same mole had slightly risen up again and the surface peeled again! Argh! I cant find much info on the internet but I was wondering:
Has anyone had something simliar?
Do benign moles peel at all?
Thankyou so much in advance
