So, I've had this mole since I was young, and never even paid it any mind until I recently become self employed and spend ALOT of time alone. I'm now convinced it has been melanoma all along and that it could have changed but in the back of my mind I know it hasn't.
It's a healthy brown color, it's 8mm around (yes a little larger that is normal) which means its relatively symmetrical and has slightly notched borders which I "think" have always looked that way. It's on my lower leg and I really have very few other moles, just tiny ones on my back. I measured it a month ago and took a picture and then did the same this month and it looks EXACTLY the same....but in my mind it has slowly grown for years and is now advanced melanoma....yes it breaks all the normal rules for moles but it's also not a new mole and has never changed so my mind is just playing horrible trcisk on me. Regardless I have made an appointment to get it checked out, but don't think I can rest until I hear it's totally fine....ugh
