Fear of melanoma

[Fishmanpa]

Problem is, no one here is medically trained nor can we tell by a picture. There were some perfectly logical explanations and reassurance earlier in the thread. Perhaps revisit them. You'll see your derm tomorrow so.... Personally, based on the previous posts, I wouldn't be worried to the point of crying with my cat

Positive thoughts

Thank you🤭I was waiting for your post, they always make me smile can you please hold the "told you so" until tomorrow, please? That would be really reassuring😊

Ok, I'll try again... I know I told I wouldn't post anymore but now I'm alone and can't talk to anyone right now so I have to vent...
My mole has definitely changed, maybe not so much in size but in shape... It us more elevated, more "fat"
I'm going to my dermatologist appointment tomorrow and I feel like I'm going to walk to my execution
I tried to talk with my parents and they believe I'm making it up and it is just my anxiety, but it isn't!
Now I'm alone with my cat crying because I just know I won't see him growing up!
I can't find nothing online like the mole I have... It is not flat but really raised, like a little ball of brown fat attached to my skin, just one color and symmetric... Problem is it DID change over time!
If someone, please, anyone knows something about melanoma please help me!
Thanks and sorry...

My husband had a mole that changed dramatically within weeks. We went to a dematologist whom told us directly he was not sure if it was cancer. Guess what...removed and was not cancer. My point being, you can have changing moles and there be no cancer. My husband has since had 18 more moles removed to check to ensure they are not cancerous and no cancer so far.

Could it be seborrheic keratosis? From you r description, it sounds like it. I have a few of those. A dermatologist will be able to tell you for sure.

I don't know... Only thing I know is I have had it from the day I was born and it was always raised on the skin! I can't post a photo but it seems like a mulberry on my skin... It is oval and it seems formed from little lumps... It seems a ball of fat but it is brown like a mole... Don't know but I'm scared.
I touched and pulled at it so much now my entire hip hurts like hell and I'm convinced that pain is a melanoma symptom😭

I don’t think pain is a symptom.

My appointment is this afternoon and all I'm hoping for is for it to be at least low grade melanoma. Because I just know it is cancer...

[roseanxiety]

No it isn’t. It’s highly unlikely. Good Luck.

Nobody knows for certain that they have cancer until they've seen a specialist. Please try to stop obsessing? You'll only spiral further and make yourself unhappier.
