So worried about mole excision and biopsy

Hi. This is my first time posting. I am pale with blond hair and I have always dreaded the threat of melanoma (I had a couple of sunburns as a teenager). I recently noticed that a mole on my arm had changed - become more bumpy and rough. I have seen a dermatologist who couldn't say either way so I am now scheduled for an excision and biopsy. I am so worried; I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks and I am struggling to function. I won't get any results until the New Year so Christmas is a right off but I have 2 young children who I have to keep entertained..just wondering if anyone is in a similar position to me

 

  • Thank you for coming back to us with an update. I'm sorry the results came back as they did, but it does sound like the best outcome in this bad situaton and that it was caught super early and can be dealt with. I hope you have the additional surgery soon and then can move on from this. take care xx
