Should I see a dermatologist for this mole or wait?

Question

I am 31 weeks pregnant and I’ve noticed a small mole growing on my left breast. My husband is in medical school and he is stressing me out saying it looks irregular and to get it removed. Now I’m scared I have melanoma 🤦🏽‍♀️
Should I wait for my ob appointment next week or see a dermatologist?

It’s a lot darker than most of my freckles and it’s has irregular borders and slightly raised

Answer

I had a mole raise on my back while I was pregnant, I showed my primary care doctor and she told me it was fine. Recently (late September I went back in and had her refer me to a dermatologist. I made him check ALL of my moles (I have a lot all over my body) and he was only slightly concerned with one on my back because I didn’t know the history of it (a different one not even the raised one). 
He told me to check your moles monthly
Check the size, shape and color if anything changes go in right away. I would bring it up to your OB or your PCP for them to check them for you or refer you out.

Answer

Yeah definitely get it checked

Answer

I’d bring it up with your dr next week. Since becoming pregnant I’ve definitely noticed skin tags that weren’t there before. I’d keep an eye on it and see if it grows/changes color but I think you’ll be fine to wait til dr next week
