scab on moles
March 29th, 2012
Hello,

I had a big scab, about and inch diameter a few months ago.
I went to the doctor and she gave me a cream to put on it. It healed leaving a really weird scar.
Now I have like 20 little ones, and looking at skin cancer I found several images that look like them:

except mine are more open.

Also I've had a huge mole-like on my shoulder. Something like this:

only a lot bigger and with thick hairs coming out of it.

I'm worried, and want to know if I should save up quickly to go to the doctor.

Thanks for your help
