Hey,

Im M 26 and have a mole under my left nipple that Iv had for as long as i can remember. It's always been the odd one out as It’s darker than the rest of them. The mole is 5mm and round. I cant remember when I noticed but its gone lighter towards the edge like a light brown/reddish but still looks darkish in the middle. I only notice that mole when I shave which is around once a month and it kept on catching my eye that the colour has changed. It doesn’t hurt, itch or bleed and the only thing from the ABCDE thats changed is the C. A few strands of hair is also growing out of it

It kept playing on my mind so I booked a GP phone appointment. After 3 weeks, 3 different appointments and all 3 either getting cancelled or the doctor never ringing me I thought i'll just leave it until covid is over. A few days later I moved to a new GP but it just kept playing on my mind to have it checked so I rang up today, got an appointment , sent pictures and got a call back a few hours later. Spoke to a doctor about the mole and he went over the pictures and said it looks like the colour does look lighter towards the edge ect. He said he’s not going to refer me to a dermatologist and instead he’s going to have his colleague call me on Wednesday who’s more specialised in this area and potentiality come in for a face to face appointment and get it checked under a scope. 

Im now playing all the bad outcomes/situations through my mind and having social anxiety isn’t helping one bit. I keep thinking iv left it too late as I literally can not remember when I noticed it changing colour but I feel like its been like that for a while now. Anyone had any similar experience with a mole changing colour and any tips on how to keep my mind calm untill my next appointment? thank you
