Question about self mole removal worries/concerns

I had a very small mole since I was very young as far as I can remember aged 6. I removed this myself last year (8 months ago) using vinegar because I did not want it anymore. Now that it is gone is there a chance that cells underneth that I did not fully remove properly can become melanoma and I would never know about it as I removed the mole? I am 29 but I am worried that having removed that mole I have done more harm than good and now could die because of it. The mole never had changed shape or irritated me it was small and I just never liked it so I wanted to get rid of it. There is nothing there now except a scar, but is there possibilities that cells are still underneth and if they became cancerous I would never know about it? I am not so educated on skin cancer topics.

  • Hello yulafair

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with a health worry at the moment. It sounds as if the best person for you to speak to would be your GP. They would be able to talk things through with you and arrange to see you if appropriate. 

    Hopefully they will be able to offer you some reassurance. 

    Best wishes,
