I've had this mole on my foreskin for the past couple of years, and just recently, it's been freaking me out because it seems to be growing. I saw a dermatologist who said it's nothing serious, but I can't stop worrying. I keep thinking that it's itchy or that there's some pain around my penis, and it's freaking me out more because I can't tell if I'm just imagining these symptoms. What should I do? Should I be concerned, or am I overthinking it?

Firstly, Reassurance from a Dermatologist

The fact that you consulted a dermatologist and they reassured you that the mole is benign is a positive sign. Dermatologists are trained to diagnose and treat skin conditions, including moles.

Anxiety and Hypervigilance
