Hi everyone!
At first, english isn't my native language, but I hope I will be understandable.
I'm a 30yo male, and I have a big hairy birthmark on my back (Tierfell naevus), and early february I had some stinging feelings on it, but not everytime on the mole, some times elsewhere on my back but on the same side, where the birthmark is. I got panicked and I have immediately self checked and called a dermatologist for an appointment. 2 weeks later, the doctor said it's all right, she can't see any bad things on it, but she recommend to remove it, because a big birthmark is a high risk factor.
I said OK, but the other day I visited another dermatologist too. She is a dermato onkologist, and she said the same. It's OK, but I have to remove it becouse prevention. And she said "when it's painful, it's not cancer" or something like that. That was on 21st February, the surgery will be on next monday 9th April, but the stingig feeling doesn't leave since. Some days where better in March, but it came back. It's not so painful, just scary for me and usually happens when I move and just a few times a day.
I have checked the symptoms of nodula melanoma, and there is "sting, itch or bleed". But nodular melanoma grows rapidly, and from early February, my mole doesn't changed (I have photos from Febr), and late Febr the doctors saind it's OK.
I don't know how to feel about this. Has anyone similar "stinging feelings" without any other symptoms?
I hope the biopsy will say the same as the doctors. Thankfully my mole is not so huge, so it can be removed with only 1 surgery.
Thank you for read this. If you have any advise please answer.
