Doc laughed when i asked was it skin cancer and said no but she is still sending me to the dermotolgist. why? ive googled pics and it defo looks like a melanoma and im terrified its spreading.

Well if the doctor laughed I should imagine it is OK they are pretty on the ball when it comes to skin cancer.

Hi,
Do you think perhaps your doctor is sending you to a dermotologist for your own piece of mind?
If she laughed I wouldnt think you have anything to fear.
Best wishes

Hi
Try not to worry too much about your mole, Like someone above said they are on the ball and wouldn't leave it if they thought it was serious. I have lots of moles and one had got bigger and darker yet there was nothing to worry about.
This anxiety is a devil of a thing to control but please try not to centre on any one thing or it will drive you mad.
Good Luck:)
