I've had it for months but I wasn't worried about it. Today my aunt noticed it and told me I should see a doctor about it. Then I got my Mom to look at it.

So now I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow. Should I be worried?

I started reading about skin cancer and it doesn't seem to fit the description of melanoma, the most deadly of skin cancers.

The doctor said it doesn't look like skin cancer and told me not to worry about it. She's going to refer me to a dematologist. She said the wait could be months.
