Tan mark on my groin?!
So about a week ago I noticed this tan/brown mark on my groin/vulva area. It doesn't hurt or feel irritated at all but is causing me a lot of stress and anxiety. Like a "normal" teen I googled it and scared myself even more. I now want to go to the doctors but am anxious about that too so I can't see that happening. I want to believe its ringworm as I've got some on my neck and it would be a lot less stress full than a type of cancer.
Extremely anxious...

Googling things never helps and it's very very rare that your 'google diagnosis' will be accurate. It's best to take your concerns to your doctor and get checked out- don't be afraid to mention it to your parents and pursue getting a doctor appointment.
