I always feel so guilty when I come back to post :blush:
Hi everyone! Sort of going through it again: the holidays are always hard for me & I admittedly haven’t been to therapy in some time due to work.
I’ve had this mole on my leg my entire life. Over the summer, I believe I cut it while shaving. It took some time to heal back up. I haven’t touched the area since because my anxiety was so bad waiting for it to heal.
the other night, I noticed the mole looked darker, and looked almost like it had some sort of hole. I started keeping an eye on it and planned to call a derm. It looked red around the skin only when I brushed it against something. Had a shower last night and kinda exfoliated but nothing more. Today, after work, I looked at it again and it sort of just… flaked off. The skin was a bit darker, and there was a tiny black spot that came with it. It didn’t bleed or anything, and now it looks exactly the same.
i can’t think of anything recently that would have caused a scab, and my mind is trying to steer away from melanoma but. Well, I’m feeling a bit vulnerable to begin with lol. Has anyone else had this happen to benign moles?
