I'm worried …?
I had a mole on my forearm for my whole life (not sure if it was there when I was born, but probably not!) This is not really changed, but some of the characteristics ABCDE. For example, in a sort of asymmetrical, irregular border (But a form ovalish), the color is almost the same but a little lighter in the middle. Diameter is smaller than a pencil eraser and is elavated, but has always been and remains unchanged. This picture looks quite a bit like my mole: If http://www.skincancer.org/images/stories/dysplastic_nevi/d_nev_5.jpg I've checked / removed, or am I right now? My family has always had atypical moles, but nobody in my family that I know have skin cancer. I am thirteen years, melanoma can occur at this age?
Its unusual for a teenager, but you need to be examined by a doctor to put your mind at rest. you are obviously worried about it! Talk to your mom, explain your concerns and ask if she will take you the doctor about this.
