So, I've had melanoma paranoia on and off for years and years. Recently, I discovered a new mole just under my hair on the top of my forehead. It's about half a centimetre and isn't round or definite at all. It looks like a dysplastic navi. I am 17 years old, and I don't know how long its been there considering I noticed it when I got a haircut about 2 months ago but the haircut wasnt drastic and I feel like I would've noticed it beforehand if it was there. Now I'm scared it's new and it's melanoma. I had a doctor look at it a week ago and he said to 'keep an eye on it'. That scared me even more. I can't get it checked until mid-January because my parents won't let me go to the doctors until then, and a lot of doctors are closed for Christmas and stuff. I just want it removed now. This anxiety is ruining my holidays. It's 8pm Christmas Day here in Australia right now and I've spent the entire day just terrified that this melanoma is growing in my head, a very fatal spot for skin cancer. I know for a fact if it wasn't for my HA I'd look at this spot on my head and be like 'oh, that's weird' and move on with my life and that's the scary part. I'm self aware but I'm still scared for the worst.
Anyone else have any moles like this? It's not big, sort of oval-y but the borders aren't definite. Isn't really a solid colour either, varying shades of brown.
