I’m probably being silly but I’ve found a mole which is brown with darker patches and kind of feathers out on the edges. I went to my amazing GPs who took some magnified picture to a dermatologist who sent back a report that says it was probable melanoma and I would be referred 2ww, after not hearing anything back after just short of 2 weeks I decided to book a private dermatologist appointment (I’m very fortunate I have private health care through work), I’ve now seen the second dermatologist and she want to remove it and explained she would take out some extra skin around the mole, but did explain it was unlikely to be cancer but I can’t get the 1st dermatologist “probable melanoma” out of my head.

I did the worst thing possible after I left the appointment and googled it and I’ve convinced myself I have cancer.

Is it normal if a dermatologist says it’s unlikely to be cancer that they would want to cut it out anyway?
