worried about moles but afraid to go to doctor

[fallingfast]

i have a few freckle type things on my back. one is always itchy. one is quite red. i know this is bad. but i don't want to go to the doctor and be told i have cancer. i could not deal with that. i know i should go...but...how can i? part of me would rather ignore it and let whatever happens happen than begin going through horrible treatments that will make me feel like i wanna die. i am just scared. and not wanting to face any potential disease or whatever.

Neither of these things are indicitive of you having cancer. There are so many other things it could be. Itchy moles are generally due to irritation. Has it changed in size or colour?
I understand you are scared of going to a doctor but really skin cancer is one of the most successfully cured cancers around and it doesn't really make sense to not treat something that is very treatable. What treatments are you scared of? Most skin cancers are treated mainly just by cutting them off so that's not too bad is it?
You say "I don't want to go to the doctor and be told I have cancer". Well you are much more likely to go to the doctor and be told you don't have cancer.
No-one here can tell you one way or the other so I'm not really sure what you are wanting from us. I can tell you I understand your fear of doctors and preferring to not know but you do have a responsibility to look after yourself in life. Your parents and other people have invested a lot into bringing you up and your friends rely on you being around for them (not sure if you have kids). You owe it yourself and others to get things checked out if they are causing bother.

Take care.
