Melanoma?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello, Ive had this mole on my back for a little over 2 years. It scares the hell out of me. I recently went to a gp and he told me it was very small (3.5mm) and didnt look like anything to lose sleep over...this was July 19th. Still Im paranoid about the thing so I have an appointment with a derm coming up in a few weeks. Im just looking for opinions...does this look like melanoma to you? image

    Oh maria you poor darlin. You really are worried about this arn't you. Iv'e just saw you posted again & i understand that you are looking for all the reassurance you can get but the mole has even borders, there's no irregularity in colors, it just looks like a normal mole darlin. I know it's not easy but you have to try & relax. You are driving yourself insane with this.

    It doesn't to me, I don't see irregular borders. just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't grow and the dermatologist reassures you are fine!

      Thats also what my gp said ❤ its not the borders that scare me its the darn color not being "perfect" and now the little spots in the middle....I guess I'll find out soon enough.
