Possible melanoma

In the 5 yrs I suffer’d lots of symptoms and my GP has always maintained that all medical checks have extensive been done and I’ve no organic issues this has been on and off constantly for 5/6 yrs but it’s always the same checks

I have always ask for more tests as I’m was never in agreement what he was diagnosed me with which was Panic Disorder then FND , various tests were done and a scan of the head was normal.. but I ask for a full body scan externaly and internally which I was not allowed also I was suffer very sore aches and pains, I was never given a hands on examination so I was always left scared incase he was missing something.

i ask him to check a mole I found out the blue as bck of leg but I only saw it as my new tight trouser irritated it, I show him the mole and he said it was ok he thought yet it fitted all the letters abcd for cancer so I left it, a yr went by and mention it again as I do panic at everything so then he decided to do a biopsy but this mole has not not bigger as far as I notice but it 18mm slightly raised ,uneven shape, brown in colour but feels soft, after this I have been the scariest I’ve ever been in my life and don’t know what to think. Cry every night is an under statement, I keep thinking what if this cancer and it’s spread without me knowing especially when GP says I had no organic issues,, VERY SCARED. Still waiting on results 2wks 3days have gone by
