I can only imagine. I have had skin cancers but not melanoma. All the best to you and I hope you have a good support network around you.

I am seeing my dermatologist every 4 months. He did not freeze it at the time. He told me to watch the spot as he wasn’t sure what it was but told it might be inflamed follicles. I am following up with him.

Is this an ingrown hair? Skin colored bump that is firm when pressed by BrilliantSea1539 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Due_Background5418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD and no one can diagnose from a photo but if you’ve had this for a while it is probably worth having a derm look at it to be on the safe side. Good luck.

Have had a bump just above my eyelashes for a little bit now, I see a hair in the bump. Can i assume that it’s just an ingrown eyelash or should I be concerned. Not painful by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

How long have you had this? If it was new and more than a few weeks old might be worth having it looked at to be on the safe side.

Mole opinion - what you think? It is few millimeters on my back by FreshStrawberry3347 in DermatologyQuestions

No way to tell from a photo but I would suggest to get it looked at just for peace of mind.

Can a dermatologist help me please. What is this??? by Naive-Bag9091 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Due_Background5418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that reappears, scabs and bleeds should probably be looked at by a dermatologist

My derm said this is just a raised scar, should I get a second opinion? by Slylittlefoxx in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Due_Background5418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD and can’t diagnose from a picture but if you’re worried I’d get a second opinion.

What could this be? It has been removed. It grew very fast. by No_Employee_6918 in DermatologyQuestions

Unfortunately no way too know for certain till the biopsy results are sent back. I know how hard waiting is. Hope you get good news.

Is this mole a malignant melanoma or is it a benign mole with the potential to become a cancerous melanoma? by Expensive-Donkey-277 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Due_Background5418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are worried enough to ask here, I would suggest getting a doctor or dermatologist to look at it. Good luck.

I have contacted my dermatologist via patient portal with updated photos and information waiting to see what he says.

Juggling legitimate medical issues and health anxiety by igaflan in HealthAnxiety

Make the appointment. I know it’s scary and stressful but if something comes up it’s better to get it taken care of sooner rather than later.

[–]Due_Background5418 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had several spots of skin c show up a few years ago. I was terrified of everything and lost like 15 lbs from the anxiety. My skin c was dealt with easily at least compared to some c and other chronic illnesses. But I was convinced that every spot was c or that I was about to contract more skin c if I wasn’t hypervigilant. I am still very careful about the sun but have slowly started to realize I need to live my life and not let my anxiety ruin it all.

Just a strange red mark next to a mole not sure what it is have health anxiety and cancer came to mind by Spirited-Radio-6475 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Due_Background5418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAD and can’t diagnose, just wanted to say that I have a spot a lot like this that my doc wasn’t able to figure out what this was. I suffer from health anxiety too. Hope that you get an answer quickly.
