Scared as having mole removed and found others

I have just had a mole checked over and I'm being sent to have it removed, derm didn't say anything other than it doesn't look right so best to remove it, however since this I've found 3 others on my body that are very very similar to this one, (asymmetrical and discoloured) I'm so worried! I'm 26 and have 3 young children! I'm so scared for what might happen if the moles are melanoma as google is basically telling me that they are a death sentence :( I'm so scared.

  • Hi. Try not to fall down the route of imaginings, so much time is wasted to fear and hope. Now, while it is all unknown qnd stressful, there is no confirmed diagnosis so try and breathe deep and get busy doing things you enjoy. I know it's a horrible limbo state to be in at the moment and thoughts can go racing. Catching malignant moles in their localised state has a 99% survival rate. Try to step away from Dr google. You have done the right thing getting them checked thinking of you cheering you on and hope you get answerrs soon x

  • Hi, thank you for your reply.  Dr Google is evil I swear. I will be avoiding in future. I'm just panicked as I've got a few that are not symmetrical or one colour, so I'm panicking myself.. as this appointment I'm waiting for is only to remove one of them. I'm going to try to forget about it until my appointment,  but would you advise getting the others looked at in the meantime or leaving them for now?

  • As they are worrying you, get them looked at. Cheering you on. Xxx
