Melanoma scare help
Posted , 4 users are following.
I've just turned 20 years old and about a year ago I noticed a new small pin prick mole at the side of my breast. I was concerned but just left it as I read new moles develop all the time- now a year later I have notice that it has grown significantly it's not the size of a normal mole a little small than a pencil eraser but is it normal for it to grow this quick?? It's slightly darker brown in the centre and a lighter brown on the outsides and is circular. It has scared me because I took a photo of it a year ago and it was small and dark and now it has grown this quick- is that normal? I'm stressing out 😩

Usually the ones with ragged edges and dicoloration with brown and black are of concern.

I remember at the time I was researching moles on line...that the type of moles you have...are concerning and should be checked by a dermatologist or at the very least by a Dr.
The newest one...also seems to be forming oddly.
Please check it out...early detection is KEY.

 Of course, you are stressing out, and that is normal, but if you get the dermatologist to have a look and it does need removal, you will find most likely it is an early stage one and once removed that will be all that is needed.
ANY mole which changes needs attention.
Mine was larger but similar and was removed and all is fine now.

And to put her straight, That is NOT normal to go from freckle to large in 7 months and with two colours and ragged edge. Kick up the bum to her, I say!

Even so, if the pic shows it ragged and it isn't in real life, it would still be best to see a dermatogist once a year, due to your moles evolving and your family being moley.
Like I said, one can never be too careful when it comes to our health. Better to know its just a typical mole than...well, you get it.
