Mole map says mole is 80% concerning

OMG guys, I have taken photos of my one mole, not sure why I did it either, it wasn't even the mole that was itchy, I just suddenly went - where did this mole come from!
But I'm sure I've always had it but now I'm not actually sure, so I downloaded the app and took a photo thinking it would put my mind at ease but it hasn't!!!

Has anyone else had that experience with a mole map app??
We are in lock-down here in NZ so not the best time for me to be thinking I have melanoma!!

OMG freaking OUT!

Has that happened to anyone?

TEAM! so the dr looked at my mole - i took a photo and sent it to him and he is a mole Dr and says it's fine ... but I am still not sure! I mean, all he did was look at it ... he couldn't see it in person so just through a photo, how does he know through a photo!!? I don't know what to do as i'm obsessing over it - if the Dr says it's not Melanoma that means it's not melanoma right?? Why am I obsessing? Anyone else do this??

Why did you send him a photo of it if you're not going to trust professional assessment by photo?

[tan235]

Exactly - look I see the logic and I'm telling myself this ... but due to having high anxiety - I can't quiet get myself to see the logic in a Dr saying it's fine!

So who would you trust then to give you an accurate assessment?

[tan235]

I think if I could go in the room? Then they can see it?

If they saw anything to worry about, they would have asked to see you. It's fine, don't worry.

[tan235]

I keep trying to tell myself that, surely they have seen 100's of mole and would see any sort of issue in photos right!! I"m becoming OCD!

Whilst I'm here, (anxiety has returned so i'm back on this page) I thought I'd let you know know that it was totally fine. The mole map was completely wrong!! My Dr told me to stop using it.
