 Posted: 09/07/06 - 08:49 Post subject: Growing mole has got me worried |
  |
|
| I have a mole on the left part of my chest. I have seen it grow to the size of a pencil eraser. It isn't of any unusual color and has hair growing out of it. It does sting a little bit if I touch it. Do I have any need to worry? |

Moles can develop any time, anywhere on the body and this is considered normal. However, when moles start changing their appearance, it is one of the alarm signs that it should be checked. You know yourself how much time you have been spending in the sun throughout your whole life, so you can say if you have skin cancer risk. Even if you think that you haven’t been exposed much, here are the general rules one should follow when deciding whether to see a doctor or not:
1. Moles that develop on sole of your feet, palms of your hands, under the nails, inside your mouth or on vagina
2. Moles that suddenly appear and start growing
3. Moles that change colors, size and shape
4. Moles that start burning, stinging, itching or bleeding,
5. Moles with mixed colors
6. Moles with irregular shape and irregular edges
7. Moles that ooze or scale
8. Moles larger than 6mm in diameter |

I have grown several moles in the past few years. I am actually watching about 3 grow on my arm now, they are probably the size of a "." now, but they seem to be growing. I've had 2 hairs stick out of one of the older ones, which was black, and usually I have lighter arm hair. I'm German (I don't know if that's important, but it might mean something genetically). I'm 15 and use to be outside all day long without lotion, but lately I aviod the sun, and wear a lot of lotion due to dry skin after I get out of the shower. I use to work out, and be very healthy, but lately haven't done shit but eat fast food, and smoke ciggs.
Should I be worried? |
