I feel like a bit of a fraud being here because I may be worrying about nothing but I can’t help the anxiety I’m feeling right now. I’ve just had an appointment with a dermatologist about a mole on my arm. It’s been there a long time - if it’s changed, the change has been so gradual I’ve not really noticed it. It is  coloured and slightly raised and measures 6mm. It looks pretty circular but with a line drawn down one third of the way. The smaller third is brown and the rest is pink. I went to the dr a year ago because it was dry and itchy and I ended up scratching the top off. The dr looked through a microscope and said it was fine and gave me cream. I went back last week to appease a friend who had just been to see a dr about her moles. I was expecting g the same response but instead he referred me to the derm with a letter which I picked up this morning which was all incorrect. The only thing correct is that it’s not grown in size. Otherwise he said that when he saw it it was flat, round and one coloured (it absolutely wasn’t). He also said I went to see him last week because I thought it had changed (also wrong). Lovely dermatologist checked all my moles and told me they looked fine but that, because this one was two colours she would remove it next week. However she did say the fCt it’s always been two tone is reassuring. I’m still scared stiff and suffer with awful anxiety after my good friend was misdiagnosed with IBS (she has terminal bowel cancer) and my grandmother was told she had reflux when in fact it was oesophageal cancer which killed her 5 months after diagnosis. I think This has really affected me. I guess I’m looking for reassurance that moles that have always been two coloured (at least for a decade) are unlikely to be sinister.
