woriied sick what is it?

Getting myself worked up. Last year in march i noticed a red type mole/spot on the right shoulder near my neck. after a recent family death. It went a black colour for a while the doctor examined it with a scope and said it was fine. and then after some months it scabbed over and went back down to its red colour . its been okay for a while but it has recently flared back up again to a black/purple after yet another death in the family.  Its mad itchy. and tender  I showed a different doctor on Wednesday who said it was a blood blister. and its fine, she showed no worry or concern about it, she didn't even take long to look at it.. so I rang the doctor who viewed it with a scope last year, and he put me on the minor surgery list to have it removed over the telephone. now its very itchy and has scabbed over.  I don't remember any trauma there. Its been there a year. All my bloods came back normal. But I'm still worried sick. do you think it is more serious? I'm terrified its skin cancer. my anxiety and panic attacks are going off the rails. I'm completely loosing control.

I think that if the doctor has you scheduled to have it removed, try to relax and realize that it will be off of your body in short order.  Hopefully the doctor will have it biopsied and give you the results of the biopsy.
