Hi
I've been on here a few times with various health worries.. Once one goes I seem to replace it with another..
Anyway I have this spot on my neck that's a bit red - it's definitely been there for over a year but I don't remember how long in total it's been there. I went through a massive fear last year of melanoma because I found a new black spot on my hand.. Got sent to the dermatologist and it turned out it absolutely nothing and it disappeared the next day 🙈 whilst I was at the dermatologist I got her to check over all my body and I'm pretty sure I showed her the spot on my neck but I didn't mention how long it had been there - she examined all my freckles etc and said I was fine.
A few months later I saw something in the paper about basal cell carcinoma and I started to panic again about the spot on my neck so I went to a different doctor. He said it was nothing and was even going to remove it in his office but I said it was fine and I'd just leave it..
Anyway I'm starting to panic over it again - mainly because it's not disappeared and this worries me?? I googled pictures which I know is stupid but I thought if it brought up pics that don't look anything like mine then I wouldn't worry but a lot of them just look like simple little spots?! I've made another appointment for next week but I'm so worried about it - would it have got bigger and bigger if it was something like basal cell ? It scares me that something I could easily dismiss on my body could be something serious
