I've had a mole on my left ankle since birth, it's considered small maybe borderline medium so it has a low risk of developing into melanoma but I'm still scared and paranoid. I'm 17 right now, and my mum knows I get paranoid about being sick so easily so she refuses to take me to the dermatologist to get it checked, even though when I went a few years ago he said to get it checked annually. It is 3cm upwards and 1.5cm across. I covered it with socks going to school and the only sport I played was soccer in which the socks covered it too. If I were to get it removed it would require a skin graph which honestly, I don't mind but my mum won't let me, so I'm going to do it myself when I'm older but for now I'm just scared.
They're quite rare but I was wondering if anyone has or knows someone with a similar mole? I'm quite lucky in some sense because some people have them cover entire parts of their body. I just really want it gone and I'm really scared. I can't stop thinking about it. I've had paranoia over it before, this entire year I didn't even think about it until a couple of weeks ago. I usually have 2-3 phases a year where I just constantly worry about it and this time after researching graphs I'm certain I want it gone.
Here's a picture. (It's not very pleasing, lol.)
