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!
