i've noticed some really small moles appearing on my skin. probably the size of this period -%26gt;. haha well, could this be a bad thing? i barely go out in the sun, so what else could be the cause of these random moles?
New moles?
I have learned that moles pop up for no reason at all.. When I was pregnant I got new moles on my stomach and my legs! I worried that they were not healthy and I ended up having 21 shave biopsies on them! Luckily they were all fine! The moles you are describing are not abnormal shape, size, or color, so they are perfectly normal! I believe hormones can bring on moles.. there may be other explanations too! Growing up my mother told me that my moles were "angel kisses".. I have never been embarrassed by them!
Reply:Honestly it sounds like a freckle and well moles aren't bad... if they are round and not "funky" looking or feeling then it's nothing to worry about.
I'm someone who has 16 moles and a lot of freckles. If you are really worried then you should see a doctor to make sure it's nothing horrible. my dad had one on his nose that needed to be removed because apparently it was cancerous.
Reply:I wouldn't be too worried. I'm in nursing school right now and they say that you should just keep an eye on them. If there is a change in color, size, or if they become asymmetrical then go see a dermatologist. Even then don't be too worried. I had a mole that changed in size and it just turned out to be nothing. Also, maybe you can look up pictures online of what is normal and what is not.
Reply:Moles can appear if you USED to sun yourself, even if you no longer do.
Moles can appear in areas where there is constant irritation from clothing, bra clasps for example.
Mole development can also be genetic. See if your parents have several moles.
DO HAVE A DERMATOLOGIST LOOK AT ALL OF YOUR MOLES PERIODICALLY. IF YOU SEE CHANGES IN ANY OF YOUR MOLES, BOOK AN APPOINTMENT AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
Reply:Sounds like freckles to me, but I'm not a doctor. If you are really worried about it, you can go to the doctor. He will either tell you it is nothing, or do a biopsy. I just had one done on my arm, and it wasn't pleasant but it also wasn't too horrible. If you are worried about them, there is no reason to chance it. But it is probably nothing.

Hi, I had a mole on my face, doctor removed it by some electrical device but now a brownish skin ramains?
The brownish skin ramains at the place of the mole. Is this ok and will it go away with time?. Does any one else had this experience?

I would give it some time to heal, if not or it doesnt go away, call the DR back,,,Good luck to you!
Reply:Sounds like they cut the mole off and then cauterized the wound it left behind. All that would have done is burn the skin to seal it up. The brown will go away in about a week or so.
Reply:My dermatologist told me this:
skins are made of layers, and inside moles, are brown pigments. Your doctor probably lasered the majority off, but not all of them / deep enough.
You should wait a while longer and see, but if you can always go back to your doctor and ask.
Forgot to mention:
Moles are like icebergs - even if you remove the top layer, you won't be able to laser it off the last of it...

I have this loose piece of skin on my thigh, it looks like a mole but it is soft and I want to pull it off.?
The skin is loose and it likes a mole, and I have had it for years but now it is giving me problems not hurting but I have gained weight and it rubs against the other side.What would happen if I pulled it off?

My grandmother had the same thing as do my son. The doctor said, it's nothing to worry about but can be removed if it bothered him. His was very small and he just pulled it off himself. My grandmother, on the other hand cut hers off with scissors. (but i don't suggest that) Hers was big. I forgot what the doctor called it but said it's harmless.
Reply:DOCTORR!!
Reply:dont pull it off and eat it
Reply:I would not do this. It could become infected. Go to your primary care doc. they can give you a shot with some lidocaine to deaden the pain. they they may send it off to be analyzed to make sure it is not cancer

Moles, cancer?
yesterday I accidentlely scratched a mole too hard and it came off. It bled for a few minutes and now it is a little pinky red spot. I'm not sure if I should be worried as I have heard scratching or picking moles off can cause skin cancer. Am I just being pananoid? Please help!
Moles, cancer?
your just being paranoid.
moles does not necessarily mean that it may lead to cancer.
in cancer there are 5 categories that would say that it is cancer, but apparently i forgot those things.
anyways, going back to your question, if your mole have been there for quite some time, no worries because it is really just a mole, but if it just apparently showed within days, i must advice you to consult an oncologist and have it smeared.
Reply:If a mole changes in size or color or becomes inflamed all of a sudden, you should go to your doctor.But if it was just there normally and you decided to scratch it and it bled, then its no problem. Moles have deep roots that are connected to your veins.They feed off your circulatory system. That's why they bleed so much if you accidentally scratch them or pick them off. What you look for, is if a mole has very uneven margins.That means, look to see if the mole is a really funny irregular shape around the edges. That's not a good thing and your doctor should see that kind of mole.

Do moles disapear on their own?
Can moles (the stuff on skin) disappear on their own?
do they bleed before disappearing and "turning" into skin?
Do moles disapear on their own?
Yes. No they do not bleed before disappearing. But I am talking about the flat 2-d moles. I hope you are not talking about the bigger, 3-d ones.
Reply:most of them dont go on their own. if its big, it stays until its removed surgically
Reply:They don't go away on there own.
Reply:They dont go away unless you surgically remove them
Reply:No, they don'd go away on their own. I had 2 moles on my neck, and my doctor removed them for me. It's painless, and doesn't take long. Just talk to your doctor.
Reply:3d moles?! w.t.f. you're retarded.

Should I be worried if the skin around a mole turns white,and is perfectly round?
Any time a mole changes color or shape you should get it looked at by a dermatologist, the sooner the better. It could be something serious like cancer!
Should I be worried if the skin around a mole turns white,and is perfectly round?
You should take note of any changes in the appearance of a mole and go check it out. If it causes you pain, then see a doctor immediately.
Most moles are benign but some turn out to be malignant. You may want to read this useful article about symptoms of skin cancer to look out for

Where do skin tags come from?
those little rolly pieces of skin that are not moles.
Where do skin tags come from?
Cutaneous (skin)tags are very common benign skin growths that occur most often after midlife. The tags stick out of the skin, and may have a small narrow stalk connecting the skin bump to the surface of the skin. Cutaneous tags are usually painless and do not grow or change. However, they may be irritated from rubbing by clothing or other materials. Cutaneous skin tags are more common in people who are overweight or who have diabetes.

Reply:they are a kind of wart (caused by a virus).
I almost flipped when I found out they are warts. The GOOD news, however, is that if you use wart remover on the very base, you make them go away. You'll be left with a small brown spot where the tag was but it will eventually fade away.
Reply:Hello SaltyTina, Skin tags are common for obese people and people that are over the age of 35. A skin tag occurs near or around flaps of skin. For example,,,, near armpit, by vagina lips, near scrotum, a persons eyelid, and in between the legs close to the groin area. They are just long stems of skin that are moblie and not painful. The only time they are irritated is when they are rubbing against clothing or another body part. They can be removed by a Gynecologist. Usually the methods are using a sharp pair of medical scissors, putting a person to sleep and either burning them off or using liquid nitrogen to freeze them off. The liquid nitrogen is the most painful of the 3 ways of removal.
