Mole worry
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi, afew days ago I felt a bump on my scalp , when I looked it was like a small mole brownish but not dark . It's slightly raised but doesn't hurt at all. I went to the doctor who wasn't concerned and said it wasn't the big 'C'. But I can't seem to believe the doctor as my health aniexty is really bad at the moment , I feel I have no control over it at all , I lost my dad 6 years ago very sudden and have suffered this since.
I've 3 children and all I think of is them but my aniexty takes over my life and I start to panic , I can't talk to anyone incase they think I'm mad .just want to talk to someone who feels like me

Hi,
Any moles or lumps and bumps on the head could make you fear for the worst.
I have been through it myself this year.
I had 5 moles on my body cut out for biopsy, all under local anaesthetic and painless. Then my wife noticed a few suspect areas on my scalp, after having my hair cut.
Back to dermatologist who photographed my scalp. She didn't feel there was any concern but will monitor the area.
They are very good at spotting suspect moles and would act quickly to investigate if there was the slightest doubt.
Mike.

Thank you for replying , it's awful ! I say a mole but it's more like a scab but the doctor didn't seem concerned he just told me too keep an eye on it but it's making my aniexty even worse now and I'm getting more symtoms

More symptoms?
Do you mean more symptoms of skin cancer? What are they?
If you are making yourself more anxious then you will begin to suffer from episodes of fear, perhaps even anxiety itself.
If you are so convinced that you really do have cancer then you need to talk to someone close to you, perhaps consider contacting the dermatology clinic in your nearest hospital for arranging a private consultation to put your fears at rest.
Mike.

Dear Louise15240: I have sore spots on my scalp that itch. I have psyriaosis. The doctor gave me a script for medicated shampoo but I couldn't afford it so I bought something over the counter and it stinks! But it seems like it's helping! Maybe you should see another doctor! Or ask the pharmacist for something!
