Advice please

Hi so just looking for advice and to whether I should get something checked out. I feel silly. So about 2 weeks ago I was sat in bed and my back felt itchy, so I scratched it, all of a sudden my hand was wet and I felt like I was touching something that felt almost jelly like, almost blister like. A lot of fluid came out of it. I started to panic as I knew I had a mole there and because it felt raised I got my son to look at it. He told me it looked almost spot kind do I relaxed and went back to bed. I didn’t d en give it a second thought. 2 nights ago I lay in bed and again same area very itchy, I scratched it snd it felt like a scab came off but all of a sudden lots of fluid almost instantly covered my hand and I brushed my hand across my t shirt which felt soaked. At this point I get out of bed to change my top. I can’t see my own bs k do I left it to next day but it burned and felt very itchy. So my son takes a pic and I just say to my sister what do you think is that normal? We got on talking about my back and his she took a few pics of me in September so 3 months ago in Jamaica because of my sunburn. She sent it to me and I noticed the spot that don’t heal is there on the picture in September and further up my back there is what looks like a small blister which is still there today so my question is am I being silly or should I get it checked out or do these look just like a regular blister/spot ? Any advice would be great. I can’t get into doctors
Till next week Above mole blister and below mole red mark that keeps leaking and not healing

  1. thank you for reaching out, I can understand your concern. For your safety we cannot offer medical advice, as we are not medical professionals. With that being said, many community members share the common view of ‘when in doubt, check it out’. Skin cancer can present in a variety of ways, it’s best to have your dermatologist do a thorough skin check. If it ends up being skin cancer, it’s good to catch it early. If not, you can have some peace of mind. Please let us know if you have any questions we can help answer. Thinking of you, Julie (team member)
