They use the ABCDE scale to tell if your mole might potentially be cancerous...A is abnormal growth, B is irregular borders, C is color, D is diameter (wider than a pencil eraser is of concern), and E is elevation. If your mole has grown or changed in any way, then you should have it evaluated, and if you are concerned, then you should see your doctor or a dermatologist ASAP. Rapid treatment is key to surviving skin cancer, especially melanoma.

Sure can. You can have any kind of Cancer without going to the doctor, or any kind of disease for that matter. However, a doctor can verify whether or not you are sick with whatever, including skin cancer, and if you suspect you are ill, you should go to a doctor asap. Skin cancer is curable if it is caught in its early stages. Get to a doctor TODAY!!
Good luck!!

If you're worried....go to the Dr. They'll take an biopsy of a weird looking mole. If you have a mole that bleeds, is asymmetrical,or abnormal, or has changed.....it may be cancer. If you're asking, please see a Dr.

No. If you're worried about it you should go. Typically you should worry about a mole that grows quickly or changes shape or color.
