Hello,
I will start by explaining I have a deep fear of going to the doctor and finding out that nothing is wrong/I have wasted their time. Its hard to explain but it makes me feel so very stupid and small.
For much of my life I have had a light blue mole (blue nevus I think they are called?) on my arm. I am now 30.
A couple of years ago I noticed it darkening on one side. I didn't really think much of it at the time. However the darkness has become much more pronounced, and is now a hard lump. The rest of the mole is still light blue, flat and soft.
I honestly am not sure how long it has been like this, I don't give moles the attention I probably should.
It is small only about 5-6mm.
Would it be ridiculous to see the doctor about the mole?
As I am not sure how long it has been like this and it is small, I feel very silly going. My DP has made an appointment for me to see the doc (29th Jan), but the little voice in my head is telling me to cancel.
Would you go? Am I being silly to see the doctor about it? I am adding a picture so you can see what it is like, although it is not a good picture as a very hard angel to take.
