My friend has this dark brown colored mole kinda thing around his neck-line (not visible when he wears a shirt but if he unbuttons two of them and moves his shirt towards left, you can see it) ... He says it appeared around 1.5 years ago. It doesn't itch at all but as it's above the skin he's really concerned about it...
One thing more, he tried a couple of times to rub or scratch it which makes it smaller (like the outside area removes) and only a little bit is left on the skin, which after some months again gets bigger and bigger (The biggest it became was of about the fingerprint size).
Is this cancer?? I hope it's not, and please let me know if there's something he could do about it ?? And if he needs to have it checked, who should he consult ? What kind of doctor ??
Sincere replies only please ???

Sincere???
Sincerely, do you think anyone, even a dermatologist could diagnose this via verbal description?
If you are so concerned, make the appointment, offer to pay for it. But do NOT rely on this forum for medical advice.

I'm not a doctor, but I suggest he gets it checked out. They say that if I mole changes size or color, it NEEDS to be examined by a doctor. I guess he would go to a dermatologist (skin doctor)...or he can go to a regular physician or walk-in clinic and get a referral to another specialty doctor. It could be something benign, but just incase...the sooner he goes, the better.

Don’t panic but have him checked by a dermatologist and soon. It might be a matter of life and death
It is never a good idea to screech or rub a mole like formation

Yes, he should go to the doctor. Even if he has no pain from it. There is no telling what it could be, but if it "appeared", this is something to be checked out
