Hello Interloper!

Where there is any concern about the mole, then patients should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
If the Doctor agrees that the mole is suspicious, it should be removed as quickly as possible as malignant melanoma can be an aggressive form of skin cancer and NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) has established guidelines for treatment which means patients are fast-tracked for treatment.
Most patients are seen within 2 weeks on the NHS.
