So now it's the turn of moles...Oh, dear...
I have this really strange looking mole on one of my toes. It's about 4*4 mm long and seems to be made out of small brown/black dots. I've made an appointment to see a doctor as it looks nothing like any other mole I have. The thing is, I remember having had it (more or less unchanged, though I could not say precisely) for at least 15 years if not more. I was a small child when I first noticed it, and my aunts whom I showed it too said it looked like something that would heal, but it never did.
I know it's irrational, but I have now convinced myself it's melanoma and that after so long it must be well and truly advanced and I must be about to die. Does anybody know how long melanoma takes to spread and whether it's always visible as it spreads?Or does anyone know of a more innocent explanation? I'm out of my mind with worry. Please help.
