Hello, I am 26 years old, and worried about a spot on my shoulder/upper back, I only have the one and I am so worried because I suffer from Anxiety Disorder so badly that I can't calm down, I feel like I want to be sick with worry, because I am always obsessed with thinking I have Cancer in some shape or form.
It's like a slightly raised round red, pink, skin coloured mole looking thing, slightly smaller than the end of a pencil eraser, and I went to see a Doctor because I was so frightened but they said they couldn't tell what it is yet, because it looks like it's been picked/poked at, and I agree I have been prodding it because I am trying to look at it myself to see what it is, or could be.
The Doctor send me Home with a Fucibet Cream to put on to take down the redness, and swelling and inflamation of the area/mole/spot?! But she told me to come back in 2 weeks time, and all I have ever done since seeing her yesterday is worry to death that I have Skin Cancer. I really don't like uncertainty, I fear the worse.
I can't calm down, and need advice on maybe how to? Or either opinons on what anyone thinks.
I am just hoping it is a mole, but it's not been there all my life it just appeared and doesn't leave. I think it's been there a while and hasn't grown or anything for a long time/months maybe!? But I am scared of what the Doctor is going to tell me when I see her again.
I have one/two moles I was born with but they are normal to me as I know my own body.
I am very pale and fair, but I never ever go out in the Sun and if I go outside because I am so body self concious about my weight, I don't uncover any parts of my body, so where the mole/spot/mark whatever this is, is... I have never exposed myself to any Sun or burning, so it's confusing me.
Thank you for listening. :happy:
