Worried

Hello everyone, so I've had this 'mole' for around 2 years. It changes colour and texture daily now which concerns me. When I first noticed it I went to the Drs who said it was fine. Has anyone had anything similar? Sometimes it appears skin colour and other its like this. Thanks.

  1. ...I think you are on the right track by seeking another opinion. While we are not doctors and cannot diagnose, we can suggest you follow up with a dermatologist. If you have noticed changes in color and texture, it's worth the time to see a doctor for another opinion. I always follow the mantra, "When it doubt, have it checked out."


    It sounds like you are already well-versed in the signs of skin cancer, but I am including an article that contains some reminders about what to watch for during self-checks along with an article on performing self-exams.

    1. I agree with April. When you are not sure about something, get it checked out. If you are not satisfied with any particular doctor, then try and get a second opinion. Basically, make sure that you are content and satisfied with your level of treatment as you are your best advocate. Please let us know how you are doing. Happy New Year!
