I just saw a video on YouTube about this girl who had a mole on her leg and it ended up being Melanoma and she died not long after as it had spread everywhere. I was in absolute shock that that can happen.
It got me thinking about the moles I have and I suddenly remembered a mark I found a few years ago hidden behind my ear. I thought it was a birth mark but looking at it now in detail it looks like it could be a suspicious mole. It's not remotely raised and it doesn't bother me but the mark has asymmetrical edges and it's different colours but I'm not entirely sure if it's actually a mole or just a mark. I will book an appointment with the GP asap but now I'm terrified it's Melanoma as I've had this mark at least a few years.
What's the chances that it's cancer?
Hi
The internet and TV have a lot to answer for as we've all done what you've done, watch a programme then think we also have the illness that was portrayed. However, it's also a good thing as it prompts us to see our GP about something we've noticed but done nothing about until then.
Do make that appointment with your GP as only s/he can diagnose what your mark might be. If they're at all suspicious you'll be referred to see a dermatologist who will examine it further and remove it if necessary.
Looking back at your previous posts I see that your mum was being tested for womb cancer 6 months ago. How is she?
Please come back and tell us how you get on.

Thanks for the reply Latchbrook 
It's definitely a good video to be aware of considering how easy it is to check for moles!
My mum's tests came back negative which was incredibly good news. It's still ongoing a bit as there's a polyp that still needs to be removed but it looks like she's in the clear :)
I will let you know how I get on.
That's great news about your mum !
Yes, do come back and let us know what your GP says.

Hi
I hope you're well and I was wondering how you got on when you went to see your GP about a mark behind your ear that you're concerned about.
