Hi all
I've not been on here in a while as kinda just about managing to keep my HA under control but this past week I feel like I'm back to sqaure one.
Anyway, we've just been away on holiday and whilst there I checked a mole on my leg (which is usually completely flat) and I noticed it had a bump in it. I should say that I had my legs waxed before we went and the hairs are starting to grow back and I have a few bumps on my legs from ingrowing hairs. Anyway, I started poking and prodding it and squeezed it a but and some watery stuff came out and a bit of blood. Since then it's been sore and red around the area. I tried to leave it for 24 hours and I put some cream on it but I've just squeexed it again and more water and blood came out. I know that the mole was fine last week as I check them all the time. The mole is very small and quite dark and usually totally flat.
Could this be where my hairs are growing back and I've irritated it by squeezing it? I am trying to reason with myself and tell myself that it's fine and I should leave it alone but I am now in a state of total panic. Skin cancer is one of the main HA triggers for me. I know that I should keep an eye on it and if it's not better in a week then see my dr but I wondered if anyone could calm me down. I am literally shaking I am so worked up. :weep:
Please please can anyone help?
Many thanks.
