Melanoma Moles Archives

I’ve got an auntie with a black little growth on her shoulder, she’s had it for a long time but it was never a mole so could it be something like Melanoma?

She’s been to the doctor and she was told to get it removed, would the doctor send her for a removal before a biopsy if she thought it was serious?

Thanks.

I have several moles across my body, mostly behind my shoulders and on my arms. Many of them are atypical, having unusual shape and pigmentation, but are benign. One mole on my neck is really misshapen and itches often. It’s not the diameter of a pencil eraser and the color is pretty uniform, but it’s slightly raised. I’ve been applying hydrogen peroxide 3% often as I’ve read it can be used as an alternative cure to melanoma and the mole (and only the mole) stings like crazy when I soak it in the HP. I’ve tried this on my other moles and they don’t sting. Is the stinging a sign that the mole is melanoma or is it just a reaction from prolonged exposure of the hydrogen peroxide?

That is to say melanoma is recurring for the first time, but on more than one mole at the same time, away from the original sight. Is that significant? Is it normal to appear on more than one mole at the same time?
away from the original site.
waiting on results for stage of cancer. Curious until then.

I’ve noticed this mole on my head for a few years now. I didn’t really pay attention to it much because I keep my hair longer but when I shaved my head it seems to have maybe gotten bigger. I’m so scared it may be Nodular Melanoma. Here is a link to the photo. Being on my head it’s really hard to observe.

Melanoma or Mole?

I had a mole removed last week & the doctor stated that the test result came back abnormal / Pre Melanoma…. I know Melanoma is skin cancer. What is PRE Melanoma? I can’t find anything about it online… HELP! PLS!
