Scaring Myself Sick About a Mole
Posted: 10-05-06 13:04pm

Ok so a few months ago I recently noticed a mole I have never seen before underneath my right breast. It is small but it is solid black. I have been watching for changes but it seems to stay the same. Should I be concerned? If I had the money I would go get it checked out but due to no inurance I cannot afford it at this time. This is scaring me to death because I do get into the tanning bed.

Go to a doctor. Yes, it's expensive, but it's going to be cheaper to get prescreened for problems than have to pay out the wazoo should something terrible come of it.

If you haven't noticed this mole and then *boom* there it is, you need to get it checked.

Ps. Tanning beds are like petri dishes for cancer. Stop going.

I totally agree. I myself "lived" in the petri dish for several years.....Yep, sho nuff, melanoma 6 years ago! No more tanning beds, no more going outside wihtout sunblock on! Live and learn!
