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.

Go to the doctor, if it's something serious they'll take a sample and get back to you, if not then better safe than sorry.
Don't take a chance on this kind of stuff imo

take a pic of it? generally, the rate of appearance, colour, shape, symmetry of a mole can be indicators of whether it is cancerous or not. abnormally shaped, darkly coloured, asymmetrical growths have potential to be malignant growths, especially if they appear suddenly

Id love too but like i said, sometimes the mole disappear. And its the case right now. So there is not much to see right now. I will post a picture in a few minutes, when i get home.

either way, go talk to your doc. he can probably do a simple biopsy and let you know wut the dealio is

There aren't any dermatologists on this board. I suggest going to see one so you don't have to worry about it. Even if it's nothing the doctor can answer all your questions so you'll know what to look for in the future.

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

It's diabeetus

Yeah... Can barely see it these days

But sometimes it looks like this (thats from google, but its similar to this)
