I got a mole checked out at the gp, I’m 17, its over 1cm big and has a blotchy red ring around it along with it being raised and dark coloured in the centre and I was told I’d be contacted by a dermatologist in a week but I got an email with an urgent appointment the same day. Is this normal? I’ve looked at other people stories out of paranoia and my symptoms seem to just keep pointing to the worst. I also have underlying health problems and I don’t know how this is going to affect me, should I prepare for the worst? Now that I’m being more observant I looked at some other smaller moles on my arms and I just can’t stop thinking about it. My family has a history of skin cancer so could this be why I got an appointment so quickly? I don’t know, I’m worried and waiting for this appointment is stressful haha. I’ve just never heard someone as young as me have it so I'm hoping it’s ok.
