        Hello Niki,

        Thank you for sending this along!

         

        I went to my GP a few weeks ago.

         

        My dermatologist appointment is on October 16th (earliest date they had).

         

        Best,

                Meaning, what if today was the first day I saw them? Just by looking at them, would you think its melanoma?

                    I take pictures all the time and never any change. I looked at my pictures from 2016 and no change, but if it is something- will it be deadly? Im scared of pain.
