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"

a bump has grown on my dogs face right where his mole is. at first it looked like a pimple but there is no puss in it. It is bleeding but it seems like because he is scratching at it, however, I have never seen him scratch it. I am planning on going to the vet this weekend but does anyone know what it could be?
I’m scared that it could be something serious like cancer

I just noticed this mole on my shoulder that looks kinda weird… I have lots of moles over my body, but this one looks different.

It’s a raised light brown bump, about the size of any other mole, but it also has these weird darker markings on top of it that none of the other moles have. While the other moles feel smooth, this one feels rough.

Should I be concerned? I’m in the sun a lot, so I think it might be skin cancer, but I’m only 16 so is it really likely that I have it? I’m going to the doctor for a physical later this week, but I don’t know if I should go sooner if it could be dangerous…

Hi. I have chronic Lyme, and unfortunately am too electrosensitive & chemically sensitive to go anywhere, so I haven’t been to a doc in like 6 months. I’m 26 and last year, around this time, a spot on my shin got very itchy & a skin tag grew there, literally overnight. My dermatologist told me not to worry. But then, last week, a mole that has been on my arm for my entire life got itchy, turned black & came off when I scratched it. It’s not re-pigmenting. There’s a bump left there; a scar that’s bigger than the mole was. I scar very easily now. Even my bug bites turn into scars, even when I don’t scratch them. I’m hoping that that, as well as the loss & gain of moles/skin tags are related to the Lyme & not cancer-related. My dad says he develops new skin tags all the time, but he’s never had any moles just get inflamed & fall off. And yes, the one that came off is still itchy, but not painful.
