i’ve had some interesting moles appear in the past year or two, and two strange lesions, about the size and color of a pencil eraser have appeared to have grown on my right thigh. i’ve have itchy, tingly, scaly moles grow on my back, which, seem pretty indicative of melanoma. i know that all of these symptoms mean i could very likely have melanoma, but i’m going to a doctor (hopefully today), so i just want to get some insight.

i go to the gym regularly, and, do some fairly extreme workouts. i have a fairly healthy appetite and maintain a healthy body fat % as well as muscle weight. would someone with advanced melanoma have the ability to do this? i suppose i’m asking if i’m at high risk of it progressing to my lungs, brain and/or liver. i have not had any issues with lymph nodes (ever, come to think of it) but i have been putting this off, mainly due to depression with separate matters.

i did read about people who died after just months, and people who died while fighting it during what seemed like early stages. i suppose i’m worried that it may be too late, and that i didn’t take it seriously enough (though i know i haven’t).

i’m white, with light brown hair.

I want to know if there is a home remedy to make them lighter or anything. Or if there is possibly a procedure i can get to have dozens removed while i am asleep. I know that you can go and have each one removed individually but i don’t think i can take the pain of getting like 30 removed. I am so self conscious and i will do anything.

I have a constellation of moles on my face, neck, and arms mainly. I don’t have the money for the 0 per mole a dermatologist would charge, nor do I really trust doctors. I really just want the moles removed, I don’t want to know if they are cancerous. So I am looking for an alternative at home technique, maybe OTC solutions? Some are big, some are small. But there is at least 10 I would like removed the most.

They still have not really healed and are dark purple….I put neosporin on them and sunscreen…is there something else I should put on them to help the process…and how long does the process of healing actually take?

I was born with it and as i grew it got bigger. My last name rhymes with "moley" and im scared to even put my hair in a ponytail. I’ve been bugging my mom to take me to get it removed but she never will! plzzzzz help ;[
i’ve tried concealer and other types of makeup it just makes it more noticable ;P
