Hi, I am 41 years of age causcasuan female with history of sunbeds and sun burns. I have had two moles removed in the past which thankfully came back benign. I have quite a few A typical moles.
After a long couple of years homeschooling ,working full time and just balancing life etc. I have not been paying close attention to myself. I went for a check up in November for a couple of new lessions on my nose which my gp said they are all basal cell carcinomas. I 'am currently waiting to have them removed under plastics.
In the meantime i have gone into overdrive about the rest of my moles googling etc. So made another gp appointment she had a good look and followed the guidelines then referred me on the 2 week referral pathway, for three suspicious moles. Since then my mind has gone into overdrive again I am constantly on Google and hearing these terrible tragic stories. I'am also constantly looking at my skin and scrutinising every mole and feeling so guilty about my past using sunbeds, worshiping the sun etc. One of the moles on my shin which I think has changed shape it is flat , all one colour but has a line coming out of it. I just can't remember when this happened. Which is adding to the anxiety even more.
Sorry I know that people are alot worse off. I just needed to rant. X
