I am going to Drs with this tomorrow and asking for it to be removed. I have always been covered in everything skin blemish you can think of its a family thing - skin tags - moles- covered in freckles- warty looking things that are not warts but they call them that and those cherry angiomas. My aunty has had malignant melanoma so I know all about skin cancer!
About 15 yrs ago i got a tiny tiny black looking spot on my inner thigh and the GP said it was nothing to worry about and its till there and no bigger so guess after all this time it was harmless.
About a month ago I noticed a pin prick very dark brown dot on my arm - its not raised and measures just one millimetre diameter and orginally I assumed it was same as I have had on my inner thigh but just read an article about someone who noticed a tiny black mark on her arm and asked for it to be removed and it was malignant melanoma but very early:scared15:
So now I have read this I am panicking about my dark dot - it hasn't grown in a month but cannot rest until I see Dr and hopefully get it removed.
I have just been through nerve racking time with peri meno dysfunctional bleeding and ovarian cyst and just got test results back that are all fine phew so had stopped worrying about that then this comes arghhh
