Hi.I am new here.10 years ago I was lucky to have Malignant Melanoma and Lentigo Maligna removed in their early stages.I haven't had any cancerous mole changes since.
Recently I noticed a mile had changed on my face.It seemed to have spread from on top of my eye not to down into my eye brow.I saw my GP and got a referral quick.At the clinic I saw a health care assistant who took pictures of the mole and they were uploaded .The diagnosis came back as solar Lentigo but with a recommendation to check if it gets changes and if so then go back .This like has changed at a time in my life I rarely go out ..so I haven't been sun exposed .The existing mole had been above my eye row for many years without changing.I only went to the GP due to it changing.I am anxious that solar lentigos can be complex and included melanoma within it.I can't seem to shake the anxiety that it's not been investigated properly and am quite terrified that melanoma is growing within it Believe me I don't want my face chopping up at all but I don't feel reassured and I think it's due to the fact I haven't been seen by a dermatologist.
My melanoma was never expected to be cancerous and the dermatologist was surprised when he told me my results I was lucky it was in situ.I had my body photographed soon after the the Lentigo Maligna grew within 4 months of these..I was under immense stress at the time due to gallbladder and family issues.I wasn't Ur typical sun worshipper .I apologise for the long post .I just can't shake this anxious feeling about just waiting for another 6 months .I have noticed another waxy shiny mole on my face just recently and I think it looks like a BCC but I am wondering should I wait and go back in a few months or so I go back to the GP now.Dont want to come across as obsessing over things .When I saw a dermatologist in the past they often examined whole parts of my body and pointed out things to remove that I had missed PS I had 27 mole removing surgeries over 5 years and credit the dermatologists with saving my life tbh.
