Avatar f tn I am concerned as skin cancer does run in my family and I am the typical candidate - blond hair, fair skin, light colored eyes. Should I schedule an appointment with the dermatologist?
Avatar f tn I have hundreds of new moles grow all over and a few new moles that have become supicious along with other skin changes in the last few years. I started to get new white bumps (milia?) all over my face. I get new tiny bright red freckle type spots on skin all over but disapear after awhile. I had new skin tags(stringy pieces of skin?) here and there on torso. I have a few moles that have itched and became inflammed before and those few have become more concerning....................
1295419 tn?1276822872 I have intense skin fears. I know it is normal to get new moles up until around age 35. I have what started out looking like an ingrown hair spot in my bikini area. I squeezed at it and nothing happened and it persisted so I assumed it was a mole developing. This was about 6 months ago.
Avatar m tn You may want to do for more than 1 mole and also supply unblemished skin area for negative control somewhat..For HPV testing fr moles or skin biopsy..this is not frequently done anywhere i believe and more likely you d hv to find somebody you know working in microbiology/molecular biology lab or Doc who is willing to asisst you on this.. Common PCR tests also usually only scan for common high risks hpvs ..and we know now there are more than 100 diff types of hpvs..
Avatar m tn t know which were there before and which are new anymore. Also, many of the new moles are not symmetrical. All of them are flat and none are bigger than an eraser but some are close. 5 of the new moles are in places that are not exposed to the sun.
Avatar f tn they present in spots that get no sun such as my stomach and my side. Then yesterday I realized I have 2 new moles that are really dark (almost black) when my other ones are only slightly darker than my skin. I am worried hope to get help before I go to the doctor. I still go to a pediatrician and if I mention all 4 she will think I'm a hypochondriac like my mother does when really I'm just concerned because of how high risk I am.
567683 tn?1216704277 I am glad they caught it in time, i have squamous cell carcinoma a type of skin cancer it is all over me. I am a red head with fair skin and freckles, everytime they take one off 5 pop up somewhere else. I have had radiation and freezing plus cutting nothing seems to work. I know it can go inside of you, it can go into your bladder, stomach, and lungs. I am having an endoscopy on wednesday. Don't lie in those beds they are worse than the sun my doctor told me.
Avatar m tn Look for changes over time, such as a mole that grows in size or that changes color or shape. Moles may also evolve to develop new signs and symptoms, such as new itchiness or bleeding. Other suspicious changes in a mole may include: * Scaliness * Itching * Spreading of pigment from the mole into the surrounding skin * Oozing or bleeding Cancerous (malignant) moles vary greatly in appearance.
Avatar n tn Dear Doctor, A year ago, I went to the dermatologist and had two moles removed. The doctor called and said that they were benign, no further treatment necessary, come back in one year. I went to the different dermatologist (same clinic) last week and had two moles removed. At the appointment, she informed me that the previous two moles had been abnormal. I was angry that the other doctor had not told me that they were abnormal - even though they were benign.
Avatar f tn Has anyone else gotten little moles popping up? They're not asymmetrical so it's not melanoma but it seems like I get small moles just a shade or two darker than my skin... And they're not skin tags. They are tiny moles. Is this from the hormones or what??
Avatar f tn I've noticed 4 or 5 new moles since being pregnant and I'm 28 weeks
Avatar f tn 40 year old male. About 4-6 months ago my wife notices 2 new moles on my lower leg near my ankle and shin. Not sure how long they’ve been there. Neither are raised. Both are medium brown. One is slightly smaller that an eraser and the other one is slightly larger than a pencil eraser- just a bit over 1/4 inch. No bleeding, pain or ichiness. And since noticing them they haven’t appeared to change in size or color at all. I have an appointment in about a week with a PA at a dermatologist.

Avatar n tn ll notice freckles more often.
Avatar m tn i remember getting burned a few times though on the beach and whatnot. I have about 5 or 6 new moles that have appeared on my stomach within in the past 3 or 4 months. All of them are normal looking as far as ABCDE....except for the fact that they are all new. I know I have to see a dermatologist but I have no health insurance right now, I am in school so i could possibly get it there, but that might take a while.
Avatar n tn It is still relatively small, but it almost looks like it is two moles merged into one. One part of it is slightly raised and brown, and the other half is more skin-colored and not as raised. They look like two oval shaped moles pressed together, and the combination is probably about 3mm long-ways. Is this something to be concerned about? I have a dermatologist appointment on friday, but the wait has been absolutely killing me. Does something like this always mean cancer?
Avatar m tn Anyone?
Avatar m tn She says she has only recently noticed, past couple weeks. She has very fair skin and a number of moles throughout her skin, mostly in her back or neck. The color is uniformly red, almost maroon. I am a healthy 35-year-old with half Mediterranean background and olive-type (more or less) complexion. I have a small red bump on the side of my nostril (outside, visible in the mirror and by touch). It's like a small red dome, looks like could be acne, but is not.
Avatar n tn Hello, Pregnancy-related hormones can cause skin darkening and moles to enlarge and change with pregnancy or new moles to appear.These moles are a normal finding in pregnancy.They are not a cause of trouble but if they enlarge or change in size or shape or have an irregular border,then melanoma has to be ruled out. They mostly disappear after delivery and if present then they do not interfere with breast feeding and eventually disappear in the course of time. Hope it helps.
Avatar f tn i'm a 40 year old woman, light skin and many, mostly small moles. i noticed a new freckle on the edge of my heel on my left foot a few years ago and just recently it's changed.. looks like a darker mole is growing at the end and on top of it. it's quite small, but it keeps catching my eye since it's gotten darker and is a definite change. a bit lower is a darker patch on my skin. don't know if it's an age spot or something to be concerned about. thanks so much!
Avatar n tn New moles keep on popping up all over my body. The only visible signs are these new moles and a very very little redness over my skin. Also, my family says my skin is much warmer especially where it hurts and itches. Do you have any idea what this possibly could be? Are there any disease or syndrome you may refer to? Thank you very much for your help.
Avatar n tn Melanoma has nothing to do with the blood test. And YES melanoma can occur even on the skin that never get exposed to the sun. And YES that cancerous moles grows in size BUT not produce another cancerous moles. And grows in size doesn't necessary mean that it is cancerous. I suggest you to see a dermatologist for biopsy. The symptoms you mentioned wouldn't worry me.
Avatar n tn Recently some new freckles have appeared after using the tanning bed and stayed and some of my moles seem to have gone darker also. Im really worried about skin cancer but dont know how to approach my GP as I have so many moles and think he may think im over reacting if i go in without a particular mole that i am worried about.
Avatar m tn Also, on my chest I have some kind of abrasion from when I once fell inline-skating. My skin peeled off and new skin formed. The new skin looks brighter and more skin-colored like the normal skin around the abrasion. It's clearly visible. It has completely healed but the new skin just isn't the same color like the skin around. It's not a scar from what I know. My dermatologist just briskly said I should wait.
