There is : Worrying, and there is looking into. Worrying doesn't help so stop it. The blank lines may be a normal variant esp in multiple fingers. However, melanoma needs to be part of the differential and looked at by a qualified doctor. The cold feet may be secondary to a Raynaud's type syndrome.
