Good morning.
A few days ago i posted one here about how worried i am about waiting for my biopsy results and a few people have kindly replied back to me.
I know lots and lots of people are in a similar situation which is horrible, the worry has taken over my life, appetite is all over the show, sleep is all over the show, just on my mind night and day.
As on my previous post i am sure i have had this growing mole for over 3 to 4 years or so, at the middle / top of my inner thigh. (i had a biopsy on the 12th September)
I Don't work outside and never use sunbeds
When i went 3 times to my GP on the first 2 occasions they both just looked at it with the naked eye without a dermatoscope and said its nothing to worry about.
But on the third occasion the first GP I had seen said it looks like a Seborrheic Keratosis, and he still did not use a dermatoscope he took a photo of it with his phone and booked me an urgent referral.
At the hospital the dermatologist did use a dermatoscope and then said it looked concerning, and made an off the cuff remark that it could still be a funny mole, I had the biopsy that same morning.
That's why I know it is melanoma as the dermatologist looked at it with a dermatoscope so she must have been able to see it was melanoma, by using the dermatoscope than just using a naked eye.
i could tell by the dermatologist face that it is Melanoma..
Thank you.
Simon
