Hi Hannah, 

I'm so sorry to hear that you're stressed and I completely understand what you are going through. it's hard to believe that GP can tell anything based on photos but trust me, they are trained people unlike us using Dr Google. I convinced myself recently that my lymph nodes are big, hard, close to each other just as described on the cancer website. I was crying for 2 weeks waiting for my appointment, googling everything and basically feeling every symptom I read about , I was sure I have cancer. Turned out my lymph nodes where completely normal size and I was just really pushing my fingers in to feel them... However I had some pain on one side of my throat/ear and that got my GP concerned, he referred me to a specialist straight away. Luckily everything can clear but  that just proofesif there is even a tiny bit of concern, they will refer you straight away. Of course they are stories where doctors just ignored very obvious symptoms, so it's good to just keep eye on ourselves but don't panic over every little thing. Stress is nothing good! Try to forget about this mole for a bit, don't check every day as the steroid cream may take a while to work. Fingers crossed for you, I'm sure it will all be fine and you will have a long happy life with your new bf xx 

Hi hannah 

I'm 17 and absolutely terrified of every mole on my body. I've always had quite a few but recently they all look dangerous to me and I'm stressing myself out, not eating etc... to make matters worse i noticed once in an area I've never checked before and it doesnt look right to me. I've convinced myself I have cancer and I'm so worried about having stage 4 or something, I literally cant sleep.

I'm glad your gp doesnt think its serious
