I noticed around 3 months ago a mole on my leg that has come out of nowhere. It is hard, raised and has a browny red colour to it with a dot in the middle. It doesn’t look like any of my other moles (I’ve got quite a few). I’m 30 years old and I suffer terribly with health anxiety. As I’m always worrying about my health I thought I’d stop being like this, told myself it looks like a mole so it’s nothing to worry about.
I then started now googling about moles and I’m not absolutely petrified it’s something bad and that I shouldn’t have left it 3 months.
Ive now been to see my GP who told me it doesn’t even look like a mole and to come back in a month. This caused me to have an anxiety breakdown in the doctors and in the end I went privately to see a dermatologist.
The dermatologist said it looks very unusual but doesn’t show typical signs of cancer. She recommended removing it but also another mole not far from it.
i can’t stop thinking now that it’s cancer and that it’s spread to another mole.
It is a 3 week wait to have them removed, I’m going to try and find another private consultant who can hopefully do it quicker but how do I deal/cope with this awful anxiety until then?
It’s been 4 days since I started worrying and I’ve already lost 2 kg in weight from worry. I can’t manage like this for 3 weeks. Really need some advice and help.
