People are advised to visit their general practitioner (GP) with new or existing moles that have changed in shape or colour. If the GP suspects a mole is cancerous, a two week suspected cancer referral will be made. Depending on the outcome, the mole may be surgically removed. The NHS does not routinely provide mole removal for cosmetic reasons.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 07/06/2023 16:08:18 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
