Hello all
I had a mole removed Monday and my derm said to call back this coming Monday for the results. I'm a mess.
I think I'd had it for a while but only started paying attention as of late. It's small but very dark brown, almost black but not quite. Kinda darker than my other moles but then again they all look different, I don't have much of a pattern. Fairly symmetrical yada yada. My derm said he just didn't like how dark it was so he was removing it to be proactive and nothing else was weird about it. When he was doing the excision he made a comment about how deep the pigment was, which made him think I'd had it a very long time. This sent me over the edge but he said it was normal for some moles to go very deep, especially old ones. I've even called back and he continued to reassure me that he highly doubts it'll come back as cancerous and mole roots are normal. However today I'm just having a really rough time with it. I know I just posted about this yesterday.
But I'm just feeling very afraid and anxious and can't stop thinking of the worst case scenario :( some virtual hugs are much needed
