Firstly, please don't give me a lecture on how stupid I have been because I KNOW this was SUCH a dumb thing to do. I have had a mole on my left breast (right under the nipple) that I noticed last week and it looks kind of raised with a crusty bit on the edge that looks a bit like a skin tag. I am 22 weeks pregnant also so my breasts are changing a lot anyway. I saw a doctor this morning (not my usual Dr) who had a good look at it. He said that whilst it didn't obviously look like a melanoma, it was unusual and he didn't know what it was. He wanted to see me in two weeks and see if the crusty bit had come off or if it had changed at all.
Like a COMPLETE IDIOT I then went home and picked the crusty bit off :(
It bled a bit, then I started picking at the actual mole, about half of which came off and it was bleeding a lot. he said if it wasn't better in two weeks he would refer me to the dermatologist.
I am SO MAD at myself for doing this and so worried that I have made it worse. I'm terrified of cancer at the best of times and especially being pregnant. I have tried to make an appointment with my own Dr but he's away until next week. I now have the terrible wait, the fear of cancer and the fear that I have done something dreadful and made it much worse. PLease help!!
