My health anxiety’s been so good for so long, but being at home all the time with my worries has made it worse again. This time the focus is on a tiny mole/freckle I’ve had for at least a few years (I’m 19). It’s on my upper arm, just above my elbow and is only about 1/2mm in diameter, it’s a light brown colour, lighter than most of my freckles but i do have a few this shade, although they are mostly flat, whereas this one has always been slightly raised, like a few of the darker ones I have. A few days ago I noticed it felt a bit more raised, not sure if it actually did or I just hadn’t paid attention to it for a while, nonetheless it prompted me to start running my finger over it a lot, like just as I was doing other stuff so it wasn’t even a conscious thing. This i believe made it slightly more raised and also the skin around it went red, but it wasn’t red anymore the next morning. However this next day I noticed some darker brown on it, which I’m sure wasn’t there before, some pigmented dots in a line down the middle. Now, two days later i believe this to be a scab, as the freckle in general feels quite rough to touch. It looks like a tiny thin scratch that has scabbed over but it’s got me very worried as I don’t remember scratching it or seeing it bleed. Other than that the mole doesn’t look sinister, the border is quite regular and it has a long hair growing from it. About two years ago I remember the skin being dry/scabbed over the mole, but I had a general patch of dry skin in that area which i attributed it too. I am however very worried about this as I can’t think of an explaination for it, and usually scabbing/crusting means if it was melanoma it would be in a late stage, which makes me worry this has been going on since the dry skin two years ago. I’m not sure whether to phone my doctor, I doubt they’re doing mole evaluations just now due to covid, and will probably dismiss mine anyway because of my age, but I won’t be relieved unless I have a doctor see it. I’m not sure what to do and I’m really worried, any experience/insight/reassurance would be greatly welcomed
