I decided to take a photo of it as it’s difficult to see myself in a mirror and was shocked. There’s a shadowing around the raised mole on the skin…I have seen on so many websites that if the boarders have started to stain the skin around the mole then it’s most certainly cancer! I am so stressed and scared as I have no idea how long it’s been like that , all my family members say it looks normal but to me it really doesn’t. I have an appointment with the GP but couldn’t get one until September (great) so by then it could’ve spread. I hate this , I hate my health anxiety and I hate how there’s always something I have to worry about.
Never used a sun bed , never really had serious sunburn but obviously have burnt in the past and it’s an old mole!
You've triggered yourself. This is what happens when you read the news... (and I dare bet you Googled too)
