acral lentiginous melanoma?

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi,

i had this mole (https://zupimages.net/up/19/38/v368.jpg) 3 years ago on the hand. After i have read some articles about diseases yesterday i can now say that i’m really worried.

I picture the worst…

Size is 0,3mm. Should i be worried? I don’t have any appointment until next month (i’m 32 years old man, with dark skin)

      Did it suddenly appear? Mine don't seem regular but it's here since 3 years.

      If it was serious, do you think it would be larger?

      mines not perfectly round in shape which is why i went and had it looked at to be sure and was told its benign mole mine has been there since i was about 18 so its been there a good 20 years and not changed just stayed the same

    Three years and it hasn't changed? If so you have nothing to worry about IMO.

      Yes.

      I don't remember exactly the day it arrived but it does not seem to have grown up when i'm looking back at my old photos.

    I just came back from the doctor and he said that i don't have to worry about it. In 2 or 3 years it would have grow or bleed but he wants me to maintain my appointement with the dermatologist just for a medical supervision.

    But i'm still worried, i said that the mole is irregular, i hope i'll have the same as Kim16265

    How long does it take to grow, with bleed or lump when it's severe? a few months?
