And is it free on the NHS? Will the doctor refer me if i ask him/her? I have lots of moles on my legs, arm neck and and back, even the hips, i want them checking to make sure they are not cancerous and make sure i'm safe.
ThanksHow do i get to a dermatologist?
Doctor should refer you! tell him/her about your concerns!How do i get to a dermatologist?
Your GP has an obligation to refer you to clinical specialist, especially if you are extremely anxious about this. Say you want a second opinion. Some people have lots of moles which are harmless except when they begin changing. You can only have complete assurance that the tissue sample is cancerous or non-cancerous by pathology examination
your gp will probably blow you off but you can ask, otherwise you can write to the dermatologist yourself, however, one really only checks moles out if they have changed shape or size or consistancy.. for example if you have had them there looking the same all your life, ts no big deal. just because you have a lot doesnt mean they are cancerous.
You need to get referred by your GP for free NHS treatment or pay to go private.
I needed to see one for dermatitis and was fobbed off and eventually changed doctor and had to keep going back before I got referred. It's they're job to help you. If they try dismissing you you may have to complain a bit or keep going back.
your doctor can do this. If a mole bothers you they can remove it, if its worrying they can refer you to a hospital treatment ward.
your insure.comp. will approve first..and or your doctor will sent you.. i have united health care,,i can to any doctor for any reason with any doctor sending me or what
usually a referal from your family doctor.
