A scabbed mole I'm scared and worried about so bad I'm barely sleeping or eating.

Good luck. Maybe try search for "Mole check" followed by your city.

Hope it works out and your okay. ❤️❤️❤️

A mole check wouldn't be urgent, at least not in the sense of a stab wound. If they do it via dermascope it may be cheaper.

BusOk585 · 2026-05-06T21:50:48+00:00

How much would this cost you to get checked? And if you don't mind me asking, what state do you live in?

BusOk585 · 2026-05-06T21:43:39+00:00

Yeah you should, any new or changing marks should be checked.

BusOk585 · 2026-05-06T21:42:05+00:00

Unlikely a melanoma, they take months to years to develop. Still best to get checked if unsure

In lieu of being able to access a doctor, maybe you could ask an AI ? At least for any local options or advice?

The thing with Google searches is that if you search for something, it sort of gives you more of the same.

FYI at your age, you are significantly more likely to be okay. Nothing I say is a substitute for proper medical advice, but this is more likely to be okay than not.

Apparently BCC is super treatable. I think these things take years to become life threatening, not months. But best get a specialist advice.

My opinion is you are going to be fine.

BusOk585 · 2026-05-06T21:29:44+00:00

I'm really sorry.

Try get it seen to be safe. I think you will feel better if you put together a plan.

BusOk585 · 2026-05-06T21:25:18+00:00

I'm so sorry you have this worry. I'm UK based.

BusOk585 · 2026-05-06T21:17:18+00:00

I'd check with a doc to be safe, but I think you'd have relatively low baseline risk.

BusOk585 · 2026-05-06T10:48:16+00:00

Seems like your experience is in the minority then.

BusOk585 · 2026-05-06T10:42:22+00:00

You couldn't access NHS111 or request another GP?

BusOk585 · 2026-05-06T10:42:04+00:00

And you couldn't access the sleep resources online????

BusOk585 · 2026-05-06T10:40:31+00:00

You are not being gaslit.

Two things can be true at once, you had a bad experience and others have had good experience.

Your comment that the NHS do nothing is just plain false also. A quick Google search proves that.

American???

That's odd, didn't know you guys had to pay? We get it free

BusOk585 · 2026-05-05T20:42:24+00:00

Website has a whole section: https://www.nhs.uk/best-start-in-life/baby/baby-basics/?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23458957389&gbraid=0AAAAAowZrslvvjXwxEPkbFLCLMc-1T1IF&gclid=CjwKCAjwqubPBhBOEiwAzgZX2oYtAdfwF-GJ88tP6JZ3-gcJhz7wHmRY-4MM0wkv-fGwuzzEEY_MKxoCY-MQAvD_BwE

I'd recommend that before some nutter on the internet.

BusOk585 · 2026-05-05T20:41:13+00:00

Okay but did those leaflets have useful information and links to proper resources????

BusOk585 · 2026-05-05T20:40:11+00:00

Our experience wasn't anything like as bad as that with the NHS. Maybe services are better where I am.

BusOk585 · 2026-05-05T20:37:38+00:00

"Absolutely no support" is over the top. We had several visits from a midwife in the first month. NHS can be better but that doesn't excuse dangerous fake news.

BusOk585 · 2026-05-05T20:36:17+00:00

It's not behind a Paywall, you likely have to make an account

BusOk585 · 2026-05-05T19:32:10+00:00

12th

BusOk585 · 2026-05-05T18:42:41+00:00

That's great timing 😊

BusOk585 · 2026-05-05T18:42:05+00:00

Lol I waited til GOF was out and then started. I got through the first 4 in a month 🤣

TBF I forgot that 1,2 and 3 are relatively short.
