Found a weird freckle and am feeling frightened

Hi all!

Today I noticed a small freckle/mole on my chest near my armpit. I don't think I've seen it before, at least not the shape it is now. The surface is raised, bumpy and uneven and it kind of looks like it's growing up and away from the freckle.

I freaked out and rang my doctor. They asked me to email some photos, so I did, and then they called me back really quickly and booked me in for tomorrow morning.

So now I'm waiting, alone and scared. I live by myself and with Coronavirus I can't go out and spend time with a friend to keep my mind active either!

Just trying to reassure myself. The freckle is very small - a couple of mm across so I'm just telling myself that it will be fine! Hopefully... 

Anyone else has a really small mole that they had to get checked out?

    Hi, 

    I've been in the exact same situation as you this week! I found a new mole near my ankle, my GP saw me the next day and told me he doesn't think it's anything to worry about. 
    Unfortunately, that has done little to reassure me, as I also live alone and suffer with health anxiety which is bad enough already during Covid, especially when there is nothing else to do but consult Dr Google. 
    I hope your appointment went well?
