Is it Melanoma or is it nothing? The anxiety of Melanoma

It started in February of 2015. I found a new mole on my back. It was multi-colored and oddly shaped. Because I had been doing research for a piece about Melanoma, I knew immediately what it was. Even with my knowledge about the disease, I didn't do anything about it. I was on vacation and decided it could wait until I returned home in a few weeks. Then when I got home, I forgot all about the mole. It was only when I had a regularly scheduled appointment with my primary care physician that I brought it up. He took a look and told me I needed to get it checked out by a dermatologist.
