Its more than a consultant dermatologists job to misdiagnose malignant melanoma- he knows exactly what they look like. My son has what you describe like a fried egg - he has a irregular pale brown patch surrounded by a halo of very white skin - its called a solar nevus or some such thing and he is now 30 yrs old and it first appeared when he was 11 yrs old.

The one I have is like an oval brown flat mole with a light brown surround, it is symetrical and the color is very even but I still worry!! I hate this fear , I am terrified of my babies having no mum x

:( *hugs* I'm sorry you're feeling like this. I had amongst everything else mole worries and went to a dermatologist when my gp referred me because I had a mole that was shaped like a "flame" and I had myself with skin cancer and I even started discovering new ones,examining myself in the mirror :( I lost over a stone because of all the anxiety.
I went to this dermatologist who looked and told me straight away..nothing to worry about. They wouldn't miss it. It's their job they speciailise in that area! I am the pot calling the kettle black though because I have my worries just now too but I want to comfort you and let you know tha tyou are fine honestly! If they thought something was untoward they would have did other tests. Message me any time if you want to talk love
