Why are my biopsy results taking so long?

Asked By:shaz3155 in Glasgow, GB

Went to gp when I noticed colour change in mole. Was sent to dermatology week later and straight away she recommend punch biopsy. That was 3 weeks ago. I'm getting worried. Called gp and was told my results not back from pathology. What does this mean. Should I be worried.
