Hi guys
I have huge worries over skin cancer.
I am worried cause I have a raised lump/mole on my scalp, I've had it for over 10 years now and last had it checked about 3 years ago and the Dr wasn't concerned. Occasionally it gets dry and flaky and I will pick and it gets very sore. The hair grows differently out of this patch, darker and wiry and with the odd white hair! It is only a small patch, less than a pencil eraser.
Anyway I am so worried its melanoma or a basal cell carcinoma, I am obsessed with cancer, especially skin cancer. I am quite pale and have loads of moles.
I also have been having severe itching recently especially on my back and there is an itchy mole there! I had a really itchy bra on a few days ago so hoping its just from that but why would it still be itching??
I am tempted to go back to the Dr to ask about the thing on my head. Does anyone think it sounds dodgy? If I had it looked at 3 years ago surely I am ok? The only thing that has changed is it tends to crust over less often and the hair growing out of it differently is a relatively new thing over the last few years. I just don't know if it is worth having a melt down in the Drs waiting room over :(
Any advice/support would be appreciated.
Thanks xx
