About 3 months ago I went to my GP because I was concerned about a mole (about 7mm big) on my scalp. My doctor said there was nothing to worry about and said that I should come and see her again in 6 weeks. After those 6 weeks, I came again and she said that it's nothing. Now, 3 months later, I noticed a change in my mole. It grew a tiny bump within the center of the mole. I went straight to my GP and she said again that I shouldn't worry about it, however, she referred me to a dermatologist. I am so scared that it's melanoma and I cannot function since that day. I can't focus on my studies, I have lost my appetite and I am constantly at the brink of crying. I'm only 23 and getting married next year and I have still my whole life ahead of me and I'm scared that this could ruin everything. I have attached a picture of the mole. I am seeking some reassurance that this mole may not be cancerous. Has it ever happened to you that a mole behaved very weird but was not cancer? I just need someone to talk to.
