Hello,

Feeling really foolish and anxious this evening. Yesterday I attended a GP appointment to get some moles checked. After the birth of my daughter, three years ago, I gained and new mole on my stomach and foolishly never thought to get it checked out, as it didn't tick any of the boxes for being suspicious. GP is now referring me to see dermatologist but didn't think it looked concerning. 

However since my appointment yesterday, I've become really worried about a flat mole above my eyebrow, which I hadn't thought about prior to yesterday's appointment. I've had it for at least 10 years but during my last pregnancy it got darker and grew in size- darker brown, round, symmetrical and flat. Again foolishly it never occurred to me to get this checked out. I assumed it was the result of hormonal changes. I'd also  been reassured by the fact that in the time that has passed since the birth of my child, its significantly lightened and looks completely faded in parts. Is this normal? Or indicative of something more sinister? I'm now going out of my mind worrying that this is a skin change I should have got checked a long time ago.

I also have no idea how long I'll have to wait to see a dermatologist. I'm not sure if my GP would have done it as an urgent referral. 
 

any advice would be greatly welcomed!
