itchy red spot on DD5 hand that isn't going away - I'm not petrified

I feel absolutely awful, my 5 year old daughter had has a small red pimple spot on her hand for months and I thought nothing of it, but I have just read a post on Facebook about a child with paediatric melanoma and I've just spiralled thinking that this could be what my daughter has!

I have health anxiety anyway and now I feel like I've just missed something so serious and I'm a mess.

I've attached a picture- can someone please try and talk me down whilst I wait to see the GP in the morning? She's told me tonight when I asked that she's always itching it but she's never mentioned it before!

Looks like an angioma even more in that pic!

Did you ever find out what this is? My son has one exactly the same!
