Doctor Won’T See My Son

For a good few years my son has had a small growth right in the middle of the skin right underneath his bottom lip.

In the past couple of months it has become itchy and slightly inflamed. He has tried to get a telephone consultation with his doctor to get them to have a look at it but with the new arrangements, you have to ring them and trying to get through is a nightmare.

I finally today went into the surgery for him and they said they would ring him.

What they have said to him is that he will have to go privately to get it removed, as if they refer him, it probably won’t be serious enough for the NHS to remove it.

HOW CAN THEY KNOW WITHOUT SEEING IT????

What should he do?

It is Ummmm and Northern Ireland is very strict as I know from experience so good luck to the 24 year old single girl!

I didn't ask for an answer from you. I merely stated too.

Trying to get past a receptionist or secretary has always been a nightmare seems even worse these days. At my surgery it's usually about 3 weeks to see someone,but they do have a few "urgent" slots at 8 am if one rings or calls in but they are soon filled.

Quick update. My son went to the docs, who told him that it wasn’t a mole but that it was definitely, infected. He has given him some cream and told him to use it and if he wants, he can come back and have it removed.
