Hi everyone.
I posted about this a couple of days ago, but didn't get any replies (sob:))
I am a very neurotic mother who doesn't want to spread their neurosis too far.
However, I sometimes surreptitiously look at my kids skin for moles that might be suspicious
My oldest (18) was over at weekend and I noticed a very small nearly flat brown - black mole on his leg, which I had not noticed before. It was prob only mm or so wide and at first I thought it was a bit of black fluff.
It had a regular oval shape
The only thing that worried me was its colour which was darker than his other moles bar one which is also dark and on his top lip.
Anyway, I would normally just keep a sneaky eye on it to see if it changed, and if it didn't in a couple of months I would forget about it.
Unfortunately, he is away for 6 weeks. I keep imagining it turning into something nasty in the intervening period.
I think I am being a bit OTT and paranoid so I can't tell anyone except all of you.
I can't very well phone him and say - by the way I am worried about a very small mole on your leg. For one, he would think I was mad, and I don't want him to get paranoid like me.
I just wanted to vent and to ask for any advice. Personally I think I have to let it be and have a sneaky check in 6 weeks time. But I will worry for the next six weeks.
I wish I had never heard of MM!
Bxx
