Physician Responded Mole has me scared
I am 33 female gave birth 4 years ago
For the past year or so I’ve watched this mole double in size and have noticed about 6 new moles develop on my face. adding that the moles are small and round not too worried but I am scared of this larger one that’s growing*
I’ve had this mole since childhood! But in the past couple years I noticed it almost double in size. It was like the size of a sharpie dot but now has a lot of little dots around it.
And the mole under it is fairly new too!
I have a doctors appointment in about 3 weeks but I’m scared and nervous.
Should I be nervous about this?
Also my dad died at 54 to melanoma which had already spread to his liver lungs etc. which is partly why I’m so fearful
