I have been doing quite well with my health anxiety until recently when my psycologist has told me he is leaving at the end of August!!!!
Anyway, i went shopping today and was changing in the cahnging room when i noticed that a mole on my tummy was red. COMPLETE PANIC set in. It had a red ring around it and i was completely panic stricken. Anyway after trying to calm myself down and by the time i got home and after hundreds of checking the red ring has now gone and i am now convincing myself i must have stratched it of caught whilst changing (it isn't a really bobbly one just is raised).
I just need some reassurance now as the more i look at it the more i am conviced it has changed from what i remember. The problem is i can't really remember what it did look like normally and whether i can trust myself to know. It does feel like it has a little scab on the top of it maybe indicating i have scratched it before somehow????? maybe a spot underneath??????
What i want to know is can moles change without them being something horrible????
Please don't give symptoms etc to look out for etc it will just panic me more thats why i don't google thanks x x x
