Hi,
I'm unsure where to begin or that anyone will respond - I've had a flat mole on the side of my leg for well over 20+ years, it has always been a slightly strange shape (more oval than round). A month ago I noticed one side of it had changed colour (very dark brown/black) and that it seemed to also look bigger than I remember (grown sideways), my heart sunk. I did the usual and contacted my GP who referred me to dermatology. He looked at it and even before he got the dermoscope he said its melanoma and would need to be removed asap. This is meant to be happening later this week.
I just feel like my anxiety has gone through the roof and I can't help but worry that it's bad. I do have quite a few moles all over my body and I usually check them, however I've had a lot on and to be honest I haven't checked them for quite a long time. I've now got it in my head that it's spread :( I can't help but wonder how long it's been like that...
thank you for taking the time to read it, think I just needed to put down my concerns.
