I am in full blown panic mode about skin cancer.
I have had a mole in-between my toes for as long as I can remember, and for as long as I can remember it has been weird looking (irregular border, dark and light patches of colour, spreading appearance). I've had two moles removed in the past because they were irregular looking but turned out to be fine.
I recently noticed two small patches of darker skin on my arm, so that started me worrying about skin cancer, and then I started googling (gaaah!!! why!!), and remembered the mole in-between my toes.
I am now convinced this mole is melanoma (and the pigmented skin that has just appeared).
I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow but I'm feeling hopeless right now and that my life is over! I've had this mole for so long that if it is cancer it will have spread!
In need of some reassurance to get me through the night- if the mole has been unchanged for years does that mean it may be benign?
Thanks for any help - I'm driving myself mad!
