I'm Scared
Posted: 01-26-06 04:36am

Hi everyone, i've had a mole on my right hand since I was first born 17 ears ago.

Today I was feeling it and I noticed it to be a tad lumpy, as it is quite the big mole. It has always been a bit lumpy as I have grown older.

So I thought I might scratch it for a bit (my nails are quite long I need to cut them) to make it less lumpy and it bled a little bit.

The mole looks like a normal mole, but I am assuming I am paranoid.

My father said that I simply just scratched it too much, but I am scared I have skin cancer.

Help please.

Get it checked out.

I had a mole since childhood that changed and I also thought it was nothing until my dermotologist took a biopsy and told me it was cancer...Very first stage. Had it removed and thankfully no further treatment since it was caught at its earliest stage.

Please have it checked out....

But the thing is, it hasn't changed in years.
