Hi, I am 25 years old and female with very pale skin and a lot of freckles and a few moles. However I noticed a big mole on my back that looks different to my other moles, it is darker and much bigger with red at the bottom. It is also a flat mole. It doesn't itch or bleed but I have noticed once when I was on holiday and my back was burnt it changed to a greyish colour. I feel like the mole is bigger now also than it was about 3 years back. I have severe health anxiety and because I scan my body daily for anything that could be wrong I didn't like the look of this 'different' mole. I went to my GP today who looked at it under a special lense and he said he it doesn't look concerning and it's not skin cancer but he is sending it off to the dermatologist to look at. My mind is racing. If the mole was fine why would he send pictures to the dermatologist? He said he will call me in a few days but I can't deal with the uncertainty for that long. He said because of the size. He looked at other moles and said straight away 'completely fine' but with the mole I was concerned about he has took pictures to send off to dermatologist. I never used sun beds but I have been burnt on holiday when I was a young teen. I am so worried and concerned that the dermatologist is going to say it needs a biopsy and I feel ill with worry. I really need advice and some reassurance if possible. I feel like I know something is going to be wrong. The gp said he won't be able to remove it until September but could be later because it's not urgent. If it wasn't urgent why would he send it to dermatologist? I am so worried.
