Please someone calm me down over this mole

[MummytoJJL]

Around Christmas time I started feeling a sharp pain in a mole I've had on my shoulder for as long as I can remember. I tried to forget about it and could go day even weeks not thinking about it but then last week I started panicking felt like everytime it's touched or something rubs against it even slightly it's sore. So I went to the GP yesterday in the hopes she'd say it was fine and then I could relax. She said it looks like a normal skin mole but was quite red (i think this is because i kept pressing it) she also gave me a cream and told me to come back in a week and she'll refer me to dermatology. But once I got home I had a major panic attack phoned the GP crying asking to refer me now as I can't handle the worry. I'm so scared can't focus on anything keep crying.

Breathe.

It's sore because you've been fiddling with it.

You're going to be just fine, promise.

I've tried my best to think rational but I'm so scared. Sat last night pressing it and it was stinging so bad. All I can think is it's bad. It shouldn't be hurting like this. I can't stop panicking and it's taking over my life. Always in the back of my head. I've had to take today off work because I can't concentrate on anything. I just feel numb all the time. And the guilt of feeling like this when I have kids to look after is too much

Of course it's stinging if you're messing with it. Take a breath, if you know you're being irrational the battle's halfway won.

Please please stop fiddling with it. Like others have said this is undoubtedly what’s making it sore. I have a very large mole on the back of my neck which I always used to catch on things or I’d scratch it and it used to hurt a lot. This is what’s happening to you/ believe me the doc wouldn’t be giving you cream if it looked sinister x

Last night was probably the worst I've felt. My daughter came up and gave me a cuddle and rubbed against it wow it was so painful I was nearly in tears. This morning all I've done is cry. My husband got an app in his phone and it says my mole is low risk but I can't shake this fear. The pain is so bad it must be something bad what else could it be
