Hi Guys,
So with summer season in full swing, I went to see my doc as I had been anxious about some moles I have (I have quite a few moles with 95% of them below 6mm) and have a few which I would consider dodgy.
So spent some time with the doc and showed her the ones I was worried about she did say 'yes" they were irregular but she wasn't worried about them and for me just to keep an eye on them, take a pic of them and view them in a few months etc... I said that they havent changed in at least 18 months and they havent been itchy, scabby or bleeding. Again she said she wasn't worried by them. She said if she was worried she would send me straight to the dermatologist at the local hospital.
But then she said it would be a good idea to see a doctor in the surgery who specialises in skin conditions and he could take a look at them and photograph them and then I could have a check up on a yearly basis.
This has thrown my mind into utter confusion and with my anxiety I feel very confused, she says she is not worried about them at all but at the same time says I should see the skin doc in the surgery.
Am I looking too much into it and do you think she wants me to see the other doctor so he can put my mind at ease or because she is worried about them?
I am now also a bit anxious about booking another appointment with the other doc because I hate the waiting and build up to an appointment and am very scared that he will say they are dodgy...
I feel so damn confused, I want to just relax and not worry about it and take what the original doctor said but my mind wont let me.
Any advice would really help...
