if you've had this same mole for years and nothings changed, then why the sudden irrational fear of melanoma?

I have to agree with the other person. If there's been no change such as colour change, size, itching or bleeding then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. When it comes to melanoma always look for the ABCDE rule. A stands for assymetrical. B stands for border. C stands for colour. D stands for diameter . E stands for evolving. If you notice any of these changes then you need to see a doctor.
