Hi all,
I came across this site on one of many thousands of searches about skin cancer. I used to be so stupid with the sun, using sunbeds and sitting out all the time with no protection. I now am petrified about skin cancer. I am sure it is only a matter of time until i am diagnosed with a melanoma. I went to have a full top to toe check just under a month ago, and it came back that everything is fine, although now i am getting in a state that one may have appeared since. They told me to go once a year, but im wondering if i can go agains soon just to be sure. Does anyone know how long these things take to develop?
I also know i cant continue in the state i'm in. This HA got so bad at the beginning of the year i was worried about everything, going blind, blood clots, heart attacks (im 25). Then the panic attacks started.... Now it is all directed at my skin, to the point i just want to crawl out of it.
What i would really like is some advice how i can control and rationalise this. I find it harder as i know there really is a strong possiblity of me developing a melanoma due to my young stupidness.
Sorry guys, its nice to be able to let out how i feel
