I have a tummy mole

Post Reply New Topic

It first developed about 5 years ago and I tried removing it myself by taking a pair of tweezers, lifting it a little and slicing the base of it with a sterilized exacto knife. Seemed to work for a while but then it grew back. A few months later, a second one appeared just above it.

I'm concerned because it's got an irregular shape, it's light brown with tiny pore-sized dark brown or black spots that can be scraped off with my fingernail.

I talked to my PCP about it and he took a look and said they were just typical moles but he's not the kind of doctor to really listen to my concerns. It's possible that I could just be worrying about nothing - just making mountains out of mole-hills (pun intended).

I just tried taking the bigger one off again but the cheap pair of tweezers I have doesn't have enough grip to them.

I just want them gone.

I e-mailed my dermatologist and he says to have it professionally removed and biopsied to see if it is or is not malignant.

Yesss, have it examined and biopsied. My brother and dad went through skin cancer so I am always leary of such things.

Please take care.
