This is ridiculous, I know! I had a suspicious mole and a weird scaly red patch on my leg which has been very bothersome in the sense that I think it is something very serious. I paid £140 to see a private dermatologist because doctor said he will only refer me to the minor surgery where they will take a biopsy of the mole which is not until Feburary, and I really cannot let my anxiety take hold of me for that long because I have work to do, and my period is late (non pregnancy related) due to severe stress. I went and saw the dermatologist, who said my moles look absolutely fine and the scaly patch I have is also on my elbow, which he said was a mild form of Psoroasis and has given me a prescription for steroid cream and tablets (which I will collect today). This put me at ease a little, yesterday I was going through the web about skin cancer *facepalm!* and saw a story about this man whose cancer was misdiagnosed and for the life of me, this has started to freak me out again! Why do we do this to ourselves.... This illness is horrific, debilitating and so depressing
