Hi everyone 

I was just hoping for some support. I am on holiday in NZ (renowned for having very high UV). My legs got very badly sunburned about 10 days ago and yesterday I noticed a nasty looking mole/lesion on my right upper leg. It seemed to come from nowhere and after the dreaded Google-ing, I am terrified that this is nodular melanoma, given it's rapid onset and appearance.

I have, fortunately, managed to get an appointment with a dermatologist on Tuesday, but in the meantime, I am out here all alone and am absolutely terrified. I can't stop going down that rabbit hole of worst case scenario and I don't know how I am going to get through the next couple of days. 

I guess I was just after a bit of support and reassurance. Or if anyone has any medical insight that would be so welcome. 

Thank you for reading.
