Freohr Datia Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have a question for you... It is silly, but since I have never seen one before... What does a mole look like? Like, is it a different color from your skin? Is there anything else I should know about them? (I'm not talking about the animal) And guys...... please... this is a serious question. I'd ask my dad about it... but I'm kinda scared to... I can't really explain why. For some reason, asking on here just feels... more comfortable I guess. And something I think about what my dad's reaction and answer would be lets me know that it may do no good asking him. And... no pics please! X[ ............. Unless I ask =D, which I haven't yet. Plus, sometimes when I type stuff in google images, it gives me many things all look different and I don't know which is the true thing and what's not... So... can anyone please tell me?

Kintenbo Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hmm, you need to be more specific about which mole you're talking about. This: or this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deity Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 A cancer mole? Or just a regular, dark mole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnell Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It's kinda like a freckle that actually has height, like a pimple or zit. I don't think there is anything medically bad about them, but if you look it up on Images you'll probably see some freak pictures of some giant mole. Don't trust Images, look it up on Wikipedia or some kind of encyclopedia to see pictures of a normal mole (which isn't weird or freaky at all).

Percivalé Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It depends, really. If a mole is cancerous it may change in color or shape over time; a normal mole is just a little spot that's usually darker than the rest of the skin. It looks like a little freckle.

Deity Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Um...... kinda had cancer in mind... did it just appear all of a sudden? Was it there all along? If it wasn't, you should check yourself out right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mufasa Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It's like a freckle. Cept it sometimes has hair. Just a little though. It's nothing hideous. Even the worst ones are unpleasant at most. Nothing too freaky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freohr Datia Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) okay, let's see... It depends, really. If a mole is cancerous it may change in color or shape over time; a normal mole is just a little spot that's usually darker than the rest of the skin. It looks like a little freckle. changing color or shape... hasn't done that... Whatever I see... it doesn't change color... it's just the color of my skin... I think... did it just appear all of a sudden? Was it there all along?If it wasn't, you should check yourself out right away. It was a sudden appearance. I'm thinking that if anything on here convinces me... then I will talk to my dad about it. I know that's what I should do because yesterday my Biology teacher said something about it. He said something similar to, "One day you will see the mole. You ignore it, then several months later you're dead." That scared me so bad because I got something that I didn't nkow what it was, and thinking... what if it's a mole??? =oooo It's like a freckle. Cept it sometimes has hair. Just a little though. It's nothing hideous. Even the worst ones are unpleasant at most. Nothing too freaky. lol I think you're talking about the wrong thing. XD EDIT: =OOOOOOOOOO GOTTA FIX MY COLOR!!!

noremaC Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) What does a normal mole look like? A normal mole is solid tan, brown, dark brown or flesh coloured. Its edges are well defined. It's usually smaller than 5 mm (1/4 inch) in diameter and has a round or oval shape. It should be flat or dome-like. How can I tell if my mole isn't normal? The main thing to look for is any change in a mole that you have or the appearance of a new mole. Most normal moles appear by age 30. Any moles that appear after age 30 should be watched carefully and brought to the attention of your family doctor. Skin cancer doesn't have to start around a mole. It can also appear on previously smooth skin. Don't wait for the area to hurt - skin cancer rarely causes pain. Signs of skin cancer ABCDE rule A for Asymmetry: A mole that, when divided in half, doesn't look the same on both sides B for Border: A mole with edges that are blurry or jagged C for Colour: Changes in the colour of a mole, including darkening, spread of colour, loss of colour, or the appearance of multiple colours such as blue, red, white, pink, purple or gray D for Diameter: A mole larger than 5 mm (1/4 inch) in diameter E for Elevation: A mole that is raised above the skin and has an uneven surface Other signs include A mole that bleeds A fast-growing mole A scaly or crusted growth on the skin A sore that won't heal A mole that itches Not mine btw Edited January 7, 2009 by Noremac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hmm... Well, Nore gave quite a bit of help there =D I've been trying to remember this for the pst 5 days or so, but didn't remember till now. I have a couple of more things that I will ask. If I feel this is something I should look into if I feel convinced that what I have is one, then I'll talk to my dad about it. 1. How often does a cancerous mole change color? Or is it erratic (like... very very erratic? If not, please tell the range of times)? 2. ... um... I was thinking about asking about size, but then... looks like Nore got that. 3. Do cancerous moles only appear in certain places, or do they appear anywhere? 4. If it changes colors... is it like, easy to tell that it's colored, or does it have a tint of what color it becomes? I think this will do. Could someone ask before I have to get off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noremaC Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 1. i do not know. 3. They can appear anywhere. 4. I do not know. You MIGHT want to have it checked out, it probably is nothing but there is a very slight possibility, I am paranoid so i would have gotten it checked out a long time ago, but you probably can just check in the next few weeks or so, just to be sure.

It's just that... first I'd have to talk to my dad about it and if he doesn't quite know about moles... he'd either think it's not it and not be too serious enough or he'll go crazy about it... And I fear both results. That's why I'm asking here, and if nobody convinces me it's not a mole, then I'm going to him. So basically, I just find here much more comfortable than talking with him, but I will if needed.

He will probably might not take it seriously...idk I wouldn't get too worried. The doctor will explain everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't you got anyone to explain this to? the only guardian I have *shivers terribly* I finally went to the worst possible action... I went on google images. Since I've never seen them before, I went to look... I really didn't want to... But I was desperate... And... It looks nothing like they showed on there... idk, I'm going to reread through all this then decide... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freohr Datia Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 (sorry if this ends up a triple post) well... from what I've gathered... the picture looks nothing like what I have. It looks like moles must have a solid color and mine isn't. It's transparent and doesn't have a color at all. Mine doesn't itch, it's not as large as I've seen so far that it has to be... From what I see... I may be just overreacting, like I thought I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
