  5. I have a mole on my foreskin that appeared about 2 years ago. Around 2 months back, it seemed to be growing, so I saw a dermatologist who said its nothing to worry about. But I still keep panicking about it. I keep thinking the mole is itching or that Im feeling pain around my penis, but I'm not sure if Im just imagining it. Should I be concerned or is it just anxiety?

I understand your concern and anxiety about the mole on your foreskin. It's natural to feel apprehensive when it comes to changes in our bodies, especially in sensitive areas.Firstly, Reassurance from a DermatologistThe 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 HypervigilanceIt's common for people to experience anxiety and hypervigilance when they're concerned about a particular health issue.
