Melanoma?! please answer.?!


Question:

Melanoma?! please answer.?

alright, here's the deal. i've had this somewhat small mole on my shoulder my whole life. but, just like, two days ago, i looked at it for some reason, and like, around the top, there's like a U shape? idk, like imagine a ball. and its sitting on the ground, and you put a horseshoe on top of it. most of it is surrounded, but the bottom part isnt. like, if it was a square, the top, left and right sides would be like this. anyways, that 'u shape' is a TINY bit lighter, (barely) than the rest of the mole, and it looks maybe a little puffy? also barely.

i'm completely scared of the doctor and such, don't ask why, i dont know. i just get freaked out. and i'm nervous. i mean some of my friends said im probably freaking out over nothing, but i do that alot and im just nervous i guess. i mean it doesnt look that bad but yeah.

i couldnt find any pictures of melanoma that looked like what i have.
its round still, and its not asymmetrical, just a tiny bit of color difference, but thats it.

it's NOT asymmetrical, it's round. and it's always been raised, like a little bump. my whole life. i'm just saying the stuff that's just a little lighter is raised with the rest of the mole like it has always been.

Please don't trust us for an answer like this! Your health is more important than the word of any cyber community.

I know you hate doctors, but if you start ignoring serious things you might well end up waiting till you need to be hospitalized with surgery or extended treatment. Would be much more trauma.

Odds are it is NOT serious, but only your doctor can tell for sure. They should at least take a look so they can be aware and watch it for changes. If it is anything to be concered about, it can likely be removed quickly and painlessly.

Have a friend go with you if you are really that nervous. But just suck up and go. Otherwise you will sentence yourself to months of useless worry and nervousness and stress, which by the way is ALSO not good for your health!
