Hello Everyone!

I really need some advice please...

I am a 27 year old white female and have been worried about two moles
on my body. One of them is on my lower back bigger then a pencil
eraser and protrudes, it's right on my waist band area and becomes
irritated by my pants. The mole is pink and has been the same size
for as long as I can remember. Sometimes the area around the mole
itches and has a white ring like a halo. My second mole is on the
back of my shoulder, smaller then a pencil eraser not by much but
smaller. It's round and raised up, it's a light brown in color and
there is no itching or bleeding I don't even know it's there half the
time except for recently. I started reading about skin cancer and
became completly freaked out! I looked at it again and I noticed
something that Im sure was not there befor, it apears as if there is
another mole or something growing from the side of it, it's skin
colored but lighter then the original mole. When I look at it from
the side it apears to be notched, like a bump. Im compleatly freaking
out and Im obsessing about it.

I would like to add that I suffer from sever anxiety disorder and
chronic Panic attacks, I obsess over cancer to the point of being
paralized with fear, I am on Prozac for my disorder.

I agree with Angela. My first reaction after reading your message is also that it does not sound cancerous to me. I have a mole similar to the second one...
