        You are very right. It's definitely a psychological problem I have. Deep rooted. Was yours a new growth

        or changing mole? It seems from your history that it was only there for 6 months and that seems like super fast growth.  What did the bruise end up being? Just out of curiosity. I'm so happy that you are doing well on your current regimen.

           Thank you for your very thoughtful and kind reply. It definitely gets the best of me.  If it's not melanoma, it's something else  that sends me into a tizzy. I am still just so skeptical of getting pregnant, even though everybody tells me that it's completely fine. Do you think with the monthly skin checks, visiting the dermatologist every four months for skin checks, and more mapping, that I would likely catch it early?  My dermatologist said that I'm ahead of the game at age 32 by doing this already. A lot of melanomas go over looked for years and years because people don't know how to do skin checks.
