      Hi forum
      Hope you are all doing as well as you can be.
      Had first face to face 3monthly skin check since February,all was good apart from a spot/mole on my shoulder that’s started months ago as a reddish spot .Has spread out and is reddish/pinkish with light tan on on the edges of one side with what look like tiny clear globules in the middle.
      Consultant kept looking at it with dermascope comparing it with another mole in the same region. She said it needed removing to be on safe side after previous diagnoses .So having excision biopsy just before Xmas, really hoping it’s ok but not convinced why they would remove if it was ok.
