I asked a question like this a while back but got no helpful answers. Guess i’ll try again.

So there’s a couple moles on my back and stomach that are black, red, tender and growing. I’m fairly certain it’s skin cancer. Even if it’s not, i’m sure a doctor will want to biopsy them.

Unfortunately, I am poor, and can’t afford health insurance or doctors bills. I have no money to fall back on, am not in university, not linked to my family in any way, so they can’t pay for it, and not eligible for medicare, medicaid or anything like that.

How the hell am I supposed to pay for skin cancer treatment? Or are my choices just "die" or "be in debt for the rest of my life?"

If anyone knows any programs or anybody that can help me, I would be more than glad to hear about them.
When I say I have no money, I mean I have NO MONEY.
Lots of people seem to think that "no money or insurance" means "available money and insurance that i’m just not accepting"
IT DOES NOT. STOP BEING UNHELPFUL.
I’ve checked free clinics, any around here that offer skin cancer treatment aren’t "accepting new patients"
AGAIN, I have NO MONEY, I recently moved, and would be homeless if it wasn’t for the good graces of my grandparents, who are letting me stay with them for a short time.

I have had the cold sore virus (not the genital one) for a many years (diagnosed during a blood test) but have never, not once, had a cold sore. Yesterday, after a run, I got in the shower, turned my back to the water and felt what I thought was a bee sting! It was a huge painful welt, the minute it hit the water. I was looking around for a bee because I seriously thought I had one on my back. I put some first aide cream on it and this morning it had an abrasion look to it and is still intermitently painful. My dermatologist looked at it today (I was in there for a mole) and said "Do you get cold sores?" I told him no, but I have the virus and he told me that’s what it was. A cold sore, on my lower back! I feel like a total weirdo. Has anyone else experienced this?

It is raised – and definitely whiter than the rest of the skin on my face – fairly noticeable and a little will peel off if I exfoliate. Two dermatologists aren’t the least bit worried. I tried to look up information about it and found nothing. Is there such a thing as white moles? Thanks.

Ever since I can remember I’ve had these two pimple things on my face. I don’t know how to get rid of them. They aren’t like acne or anything; they’ve just been there. I heard that pimples turn into moles, that turn into warts, then if you want them gone you have to get them surgically removed. I’m afraid of that happening.
Is there any way of getting rid of these?

A few weeks I noticed a black dot underneath my skin, it has no head, bump, borders or brown/red/odd colors around it, it’s just a black dot as if someone poked a marker on my skin

My problem is I have never took notice of my body until I began researching about cancer, and I honestly can’t figure out if I’ve always had this mark or not. My mother told me I was born with a few black spots on my body, which I do have that are quite larger than this one in fact since birth, And that I could just be getting more as I grow. My main concern is that this black spot is more "out there’ than my other spots, as in my other spots look faded in with my skin, while this one is more darker than the rest.

She and my father explained that this is just genetics making them appear, and not cancer which I am concerned about. And they are my only transportation and money to actually go to a doctor, which they refuse as they think I’m being a hypochondriac about cancer in general.

My family has no history of melanoma or skin cancer, and I haven’t been exposed to the sun for more than two-ten minutes for the past three years, and I’ve never tanned or used a tanning bed.

Here is the black spot in question

The last time I went for a full checkup was after I had an anxiety attack in 2006 which the doctors said everything was fine and I only have an anxiety disorder which was described as severe, and I was born with no defects.

And just a note, I know if I think something is wrong I should see a doctor, my problem is my parents refuse to believe anything is wrong with me and therefor will not take me to the doctor, and they also don’t want to spend money on what they believe would be a waste of time as they think I am normal. So please no "go to the doctor"
