Hello everyone,
I recently went to the doctor for a suspicious mole. Unfortunately, it's on my face. It was very tiny, black, and almost looked like a white head (but was black). It was new, had just showed up sometime within the last year on my cheek. I went in as a precaution since skin cancer runs in my family (but not melanoma). The doctor said it was black and blue with an outline of brown. It was a normal circle shape, popped up like a pimple. I think it was 2mm.
She told me it's a 50/50 chance for melanoma or just a blue navius. I had a melt down at the doctor. I'm 29, about to be 30 next week, and I can't believe it.
Right now I'm playing the waiting game, which I'm not doing very well. I keep thinking about how I had swollen glands in my neck a few weeks ago, and really scaring myself.
I'm just curious if any one out there has had a similar mole. Mine doesn't look like a clean cut case of melanoma. It could be a blue navius. I'm praying it is.
But in the meantime, I'll be praying for all of you. When something like this happens, you don't realize how lucky you have it. I've never realized how much I loved my face until they wanted to start possibly cutting it all up. I hope my results come back ok, and I won't ever return to this forum again, but in the meantime, I'm thinking of you all, and wishing you all strength. Just the possibility is devastating for me.
Thinking of you guys
