Hi there,

I posted on here about 18 months ago. I had a flat mole on my leg that I went to see my GP about as it was a couple of shades of brown. He wasn't worried about it.

Anyway, being the obsessive that I am, I noticed a hair growing out of it, I plucked it out, and part o the pigment came away. The next day I wiped over it with some TCP, and the whole thing came away. It healed up to normal skin.

Well, I was looking on the internet at abnormal moles, as I have loads of moles, and it said a sign of melanoma can be parts of the mole falling or peeling off, also hairs can grow out of melanoma.

I am petrified that I picked off a bad mole and now it has spread round my body, I don't even have the original mole to show a dermatolgistas it has all healed up.

I am going out of my mind, I cannot sleep properly or think about anything else.

Has anyone got any similar experience.



Thanks

Hi

has it healed completely and there is normal skin there now? In that case there is no way it was melanoma.
Also, I used to have a mole with a hair coming out of it, and my dermatologist said that it was not a kind of mole that turns into melanoma, so I don't think the hair thing is a melanoma sign, as hairs can grow from all kinds of moles. (I had that one removed by the way although I didn't need to).
