Amelia,...no pain.
Tricia....like you, the dr wants to biopsy just to be sure.
For the past month (maybe longer since it is in the middle of my back and not very noticeable) I have felt this small kinda rough, raised area. So I went to the dermatologist to ck it out, esp since my risk for melanoma is slightly higher then the avg person due to my BRCA2 status.
So it is asymptomatic outside of what I could barely feel with my fingertips.
Many of our thoughts can get somewhat out of control and I hve to keep reminding myself that thoughts are merely a view of a particular perspective. They are not fact, they are not predictors of the future, they are just a perspective. So I try not to make attachments to them.
