Hi there. I have a very small dark brown mole on my shoulder and tonight I brushed against it and realized it felt more raised/harder than normal. When I looked at it, it almost looked like a blood blister, or like it had an additional bump underneath it. Because it was a fairly dark mole to start, it looks pretty damn scary. When I googled blood blister under mole, nodular melanoma came up. I'm absolutely panicked now and can't calm down.
My husband noticed there was a hair in it and plucked it out, thinking maybe it's an ingrown hair and that caused the bump.
I'm going to call my derm tomorrow morning and try and schedule something for next week. I figure that gives it time to calm down if it's nothing but is also close enough that I can make it a week before going in. I was just at the derm in May for my 6 month check up, so I feel somewhat better knowing she would have noticed it then. But everything I've read about nodular melanoma is giving me so, so much anxiety. anyone been through something similar and has some words of advice?
