I found a large dark mole in my belly button and panicked so much I paid to go privately. I'm very fair skinned, not moley in general, never lived/worked in the sun and have no family history of skin cancer. Because of the last couple of reasons, the dermatologist said I'm not a likely candidate for melanoma. He inspected my mole and basically told me that he understood why I was concerned, due to not being a moley person and it's irregular shape, and he diagnosed it as a 'spitz nevus'. He told me just to monitor it over the next few years, or he could take it out for me. I decided to have it removed and I'm awaiting the results. I've scared myself to death reading things online, but this looks like the friendlist place to get some advice or hear some other peoples stories. For context: i'm a 22 year old woman. At the moment i am still healing from the procedure, and the doctor said I should hear from them in the next few days...any similar stories?
