Hello,

I'm 20 and I've just been referred to the hospital to see a dermatologist under the two week rule, for a mole on my back. I've had the mole all of my life but since it's on my back I cannot be sure if it's changed. It hasn't bled or itched and is smaller than the end of a pencil/pencil rubber. It looks all one colour but my doctor mentioned how it got lighter towards the edge, almost as if it's blurring out. 
 

I noticed that the border of the mole, or the edge, is rather irregular and it threw me into a huge panic. I also have hypochondria (severe health anxiety) so this is an extremely terrifying time for me. I am so afraid of cancer and I've been living with the mindset that I've got skin cancer for the past couple of weeks. I really struggle with the waits between these kinds of appointments. 
 

Please could anyone help me? I've never had anything as scary as this happen before and I'm so afraid of what might happen to me. Thank you.
