Hi there, just wondered if anybody could give me any advice.
Basically,a couple of months ago I asked my GP to look at a mole on my leg, it was flat, not raised at all, the brown colour was a bit varied. He assured me it was ok.
Anyway about 3 weeks ago I was having one of my health anxiety obsessive check my body for lumps, bumps etc, and I started to worry about this mole again. I noticed it had a small hair growing out of it, so I plucked it out,and part of he brown pigment came with it. It looked a bit scab like the next day, so I cleaned over it with cotton wool and TCP, then the whole thing came off just by wiping it. It has completely healed up and looks like normal pink skin, but I am really scared that if it was malignant underneath at all I won't know, because the pigmented bit has gone.
Does anyone know if it would grow on the skin again if it is something nasty.
I am absolutely scared stiff, any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
