I have previously had a couple serious sunburns that have caused blisters, one time very large blisters. Recently, I have noticed an old mole near the area of the sunburns has a white mark near the center and has started to have some tenderness. I have talked to some people, none of them medical professionals, and they say the only reason it is tender is because I have been feeling it. Could these be symptoms of skin cancer?
Is this possibly skin cancer?
when it is a different color as the skin around it, that can be a warning sign of cancer.
doesn't have to be.
but best to get it checked by a MD ASAP.
Reply:You should consult your doctor. It's much better to be safe than sorry. The sooner you get that taken care of (if it's cancerous) the better because it can be quickly and more easily removed.
Reply:Doctor, NOW!
Reply:Why do you always ask friends and strangers instead of the professional in the business of medicine..Is it because you have a problem with facing the truth..
Why wait any longer.. Go see your doctor . . . before it is too late.
Reply:umm, i sugest a doctor or a dermatologist appointment soon. my grandma died from cancer because she didnt take care of it until it was too late. so plz dont wait. first thing in the morning make an appointment.

Reply:Any changes in skin should be looked at by an MD. It's always better safe than sorry. And every time u get sunburned you increase your chances for skin cancer. Enjoy the sun moderatley and use a sunscreen to prevent burns.
Reply:I'm not a doctor, but just to be on the safe side , go to one ASAP.
Reply:See a dermatologist. They'll be able to assess your risk based on a lot of factors (genetics, sun history, etc) and they'll inspect the mole. If it's suspicious, it'll be biopsied. Otherwise, it'll be measured and photographed for comparison at your next check-up. Please do this soon - melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of cancer primarily because it's hard to catch it early.
Reply:see a doctor now...better be sure it's nothing to worry about
Reply:You could have melanoma. It can become deadly. Have it checked out now.
Reply:Be careful not to get sunburns but yes, you should seek a professional for an exam. It doesn't hurt. Stay safe
Reply:Theproblem is most of the time there are no symptoms of skin cancer. You should go in andlet a dermatologist look at it.
