i have this mole here on my face that’s always been there but all the sudden i felt it and it feels dry and it’s a little raised. I’m freaking out because i’m worried it’s some sort of skin cancer or something, it doesn’t hurt or itch but it feels dry, i do have a history of eczema so i don’t know it that’s any related, i don’t know what to do, i’m getting it checked next thursday but i’m still so worried, any thoughts?

Try not to worry too much, I have one that is similar and I had it checked by the Dermatologist. It turned out to be absolutely fine. Getting it looked at is a good idea. Anything that concerns us is best checked out, if only to ease our anxious minds.

Skin cancer sufferer for year's here. If it is skin cancer then trust me when I say don't worry at all. They will need to cut it out and that's it. Very small scar. It's not deadly at all so don't worry.

Hello :-)

I have moles and I have freaked out at times when I have found one raised similar to yours and it has just been a spot we all get but come up under a mole , this maybe all that yours is when I look at it

Of course we are not Doctors so I would see in a few days if it goes otherwise get it checked out but I would not worry

Let us know how you get on :-) x

I've have had skin cancer for years. Nothing has surprised me anymore what is and what isn't skin cancer. If there's any concerns have a dermatologist look at it. If you're from the US you may need a referral for your doctor to see a dermologist. To me it looks harmless but I'm not a doctor.

I too have had a form of skin cancer had a sore in my head for 2/3 years didn’t heal tried everything out an eventually had a biopsy done came back as skin cancer has it removed all good it may not actually be that it could just be a spot or just a mole that’s not serious 😘

Thank you for your input. It can be scary not knowing what it is. You and I know that moles can be tricky. We've been blessed with good dermotologists who help watch our skin. I thot having them removed was the scary part but it wasn't. I think it's the unknown that's scary.

Not what you're looking for?
