i have recently noticed 3 moles which i dont like the look of....thing is im not sure how long they have been there......the one on my neck im pretty sure has gotten darker...its not that big but its dark brown n when i stretch the skin i think the border looks irregular.the one on my legs bit bigger its pale brown but has like a point coming off it,the one on my other leg is fairly small about 3mm n has light n dark brown.
I have heard if you have more then one colour or irregular borders to go to the doctor so i plan to go tomorrow but im soooo scarred :-( im worried she will say they are all cancerous and so there is no hope for me.my dad dies a few years ago and as my parents only child i worry for my mum if i was to have cancer or not be here anymore....i also think what a waste im only 22 and i want to finish my degree n help people when i qualify....my mind turns over n over between feeling like 'oh well go in the sun you can keep your moles in check you will be fine for a few years anyway' and feeling guilty for goin in the sun or occassional sunbed and then feeling pangs of fear.i have decided i wont tan anymore whatever the outcome.....i dont let my self burn tho i have burnt a couple times in my life but i am careful n always apply cream but even so i find myself on here n madly searching pictures of moles which seems to just make me worse!
My grandma never put her face in the sun which is prob why being a woman in her 70's she has hardly any wrinkles....she once was in many years ago egypt and had no protection with her by the pyramids and burnt her nose a year or 2 ago she had a sore on her nose which didnt heal which turned out to be canerous she had it removed and has been fine since....mine dont bleed or itch but they dont look right well i dont think they do....her having it removed and it being cancerous n her bein fine is a comfort but im still so worried i think knowing my luck i wont be as lucky :-(
