Mole.....

[icemaiden]

Had a gyne appointment this morning with the dermatologist and she noticed a dark, irregular shaped mole on my pubic bone, quite big too.

I know that I have had it there for a year or so and should have gone to my GP but you know how it is, time, work.....no excuse, I know, anyway, she has now sent me for an appointment to remove it and have it investigated. I'm not worried about the removal part but it has made me worry about the outcome. :0(

No question, just want chat about it.

is it itch, irregular, uneven in colour, does it bleed,

Bit of a worry when a doctor spots something and reacts. better to know either way and at least it will be removed

[icemaiden]

Hasn't ever caused me a problem. No itching, bleeding. It's irregular and all the same shade of colour.

[rowanwitch]

At least it is a dermatologist...saves time waiting for onward referrals too.

[icemaiden]

That's very true Rowanwitch.

[rowanwitch]

but I suspect you find it more worrying as a result.. if it is any consolation most moles turn out to be nothing and most of the rest are fully removed at the first attempt.

[Sqad]

naaaah! I bet it is benign.

[rowanwitch]

you'd get rubbish odds on that bet sqad... which I suspect is just what Icemaiden wanted to hear

Am sure its nothing to worry about. Ive had a few checked before and they are all ok.

[icemaiden]

Hi Sqad....I really hope you are right :0) I wish I was as optimistic as you.

Unfortunately, I am the sort of person that can often think the worst but, I will not let it take over my life and I will constantly say to myself that I am worrying about nothing. (Hopefully)

[icemaiden]

That's reassuring Smowball.

I just hate the waiting. But I guess I've had it for a year, so, another few weeks won't hurt, right?

[Sqad]

ice.........puzzled of Menorca.......how do you have a gynae appointment with a dermatologist?

[icemaiden]

I have Lichen Sclerosus (Sp) Sqad. So I get to see a dermatologist as well as a Gynae and urologist.

ice....got it....thanks.
