Go to your doctor as soon as possible.
Whether or not you think it's something small or just because you've had it for 5 years makes no difference.

Cancer shouldn't be something you let slide because YOU think it's nothing.

E/ after seeing the photograph, what you should do is take pictures and measurements of it on good days and bad days and bring this to your doctor. It will help you significantly.

For the past few year, i have this mole on my feet.  Actually, there is 2 on each foot (same place, on on the right side of the foot, the other on the left).

I never realy payed attention to it, but recently i decided to do some research and it makes me believe its a skin cancer.  But i dont wanna go a doctor if hes gonna say "no its nothing, have a good day". 

The mole, sometimes, is pretty big and very easy for others to see it.  Which is embarrassing, since i have to try to hide, which is hard when you are on the beach haha.
But sometimes, the hole just disappears, fade, call it what you want, but will evantually come back.  I saw some pictures on the internet of different skin cancer moles, and id say its similar.  And what else could it be? Random mole coming from nowhere? 

Now, i think im having he same moles in my navel (really tiny moles but still, looks like its spreading).


I know that a cancer is a cancer, and its important to take care of it as quickly as possible, but i have this for maybe 5 years and i dont think thats a big deal, but i wanna know more.  Like what are the risks, is even the less dangerous skin cancer can be dangerous, etc...


Like i said, i dont want to go see a doctor if its nothing important.


I do not get the logic of some people these days

im saying who cares what it is? Why measure it/worry about it/ stress / etc

go get it removed. takes no time and costs next to nothing.

i had a small one on my back and my doc said it was better to just get it removed to be safe. not a big deal

It looks normal to me.

the second pic has telltale signs of skin cancer:

If you notice any changes in its color (changes in the color around the mole/on the mole), size, shape, symmetry (imaginary line down through the mole, and sides don't match), irregular borders of the mole, if the diameter is larger than a pencil eraser, itchiness, elevations, oozing, inflammation, blood vessel formation, horny eruptions, dryness, etc. then go get a biopsy done.

Go to the dermatologist and have him take a look at it. Taking pics of it with your phone is a good idea as well.

the pair of med students here should be identify basic malignant growth characteristics as guidelines, even if the mole doesnt end up being anything


I'm aware of the posters, but he needs to see a dermatologist for this.

listen carefully

in your case, money can save your life. in worst case, it can remove a lot of stress off your shoulders. win/win
theres already enough fucking stress in life, you don't need more
e; forgot the most important: go see a doctor ASAP
