I'm back in that place... I have so many real health issues and the anxieties that comes with them but then today there's a whole new one. I know the way in reacting is stupid but I am in a state here. I felt a hard lump on my scalp today out of the blue, I wasn't checking for anything. Turned out it was a scab and I picked it off (sorry tmi) and now it's sore and a bit weepy. I have had a lot of moles and skin worries over the past couple of years and had moles removed. I am now panicking that this is a mole that I agent noticed and that had crusted over and is bad. I can't even look at it cos it's at the back of my head. I asked someone to look for me and she just said I can't tell it's just an open sore, wait to see if it heals. I'm now scared it won't and I googled head sores and saw 'melanoma of the scalp is the most deadly' I am petrified. I have a history of a scaly scalp and dandruff and I think I've had little scabs in the past but nothing like this I don't think.. It hurts even without touching. I knew I should've got someone to check my scalp regularly but I thought I was just being over anxious. Has anyone else experienced this? What could it be if not the worst? I don't need this worry on top of everything else! I'm sad to be back here on this forum but I need to get my thoughts down.. I am getting cbt but right now it's not helping :(
