I'm not sure how "unncessary" this would be, since it is causing you such distress. Besides, would it be easier for you to let a few stitches heal, or controlling your poking and prodding?
The vulva is a sensitive area - and I'm sure the skin around the mole(s) is irritated from being manipulated so often.
As far as the cancer thing goes, I'm not sure how to get over your fear of it, except taking comfort in the fact that a medical professional has told you in his opinion it is not necessary for you to have the mole removed, and thinks just keeping an eye on it will be fine for now. Only thing I can think of is just reminding yourself that everyday is a wonderful gift, so there's no reason to live in fear every day. :)
