This is my last post on this . I promise http://anxietyzone.com/Smileys/default/sad.gif
I'm still freaking out about skin cancer and I'm still really freaked out about going to see the doctor.
I have this spot on my lower back/hip area (waist line where your pants and skirts rub and touch your skin).
I think I've had this spot for awhile now but I'm not sure tho. http://anxietyzone.com/Smileys/default/sad.gif I do remember it starting out as a red bump. Then it seemed to go away. but it left behind a light brown/tan spot in it's place. The bump is gone but if I rub and press my finger over the area I can still feel a lump under the skin and if I pinch the area it dimples. I also have stretch marks in this area too. (pregnancy.)
It hasn't gotten any bigger but it also hasn't gone away yet!!
Does this sound like Melanoma?????
What if this spot has been there for a very long time and I just noticed it now. It could have spread to the rest of my body now http://anxietyzone.com/Smileys/default/sad.gif This is the reason why I'm so scared to see a Dr. now. For all I know this could have been there since last year I just can't remember http://anxietyzone.com/Smileys/default/sad.gif
oh yea
I forgot to mention that I'm 41 I live in Canada I hate being in the sun. But as a teenager I did spend time it the sun in the summer and remember a few burns
I have dark hair , brown eyes. I'm of european decent.(I was born in the former Yugoslavia). And I don't really have a lot of freckles or moles.
