I'm in bits over a suspicious lesion on my arm.
I went to the GP about it on Wednesday. He said he wasn't overly concerned, but we spoke about melanoma (he brought it up) and he took a photo and sent it to the dermatology clinic and he said if they wanted to see me they would get in touch. I didn't think anything of it despite my well known HA. Well the next day they phoned, they want to see me and I have an appointment on the 30th under the 2 week rule. Cue full on panic.
I've had it for a few months but as it is by my elbow I would glance at it and thought it was a blood blister and would ignore it (it is a dark-reddish mark)
It has got slightly worse and is raised and a strange shape.
I am pale and don't go out in the sun or use sunbeds.
I don't know why I'm posting I just feel rotten. I didn't think out of all the cancers this would be the one.
