Can anything else cause this?

It is absolutely imperative thatshe goes to the doctor. if she has cancer, the longer she waits, the worse her chances of survival are, i mean that. seriously, no kidding around she NEEDS to go, take her, go with her, make sure they do tests. my bf dies from skin cancer when he was 24

Birth marks will be very small when the baby is born. As the baby grows the mark also will expand and show as big. Many babies have such marks - dark, red, white patches at birth and when group sufficiently big the mark also grow. There is nothing to worry and POSITIVELY it is not cancer. Only if you feel if it is spreading from one place to more places you have to show to a doctor. Best of luck and don't worry-

Does your friend spend a lot of time in the sun? If she does , put her in the car and drive her straight to the doctor. Skin cancer grows slowly so if it has been growing for two years she needs to have it removed and analyzed ASAP.

. i also heard long time ago that birth mark growth is the sign for cancer. but ia m not sure about it. i believe that we get cancer only when our body is in too much acidic. i mean we supposed to be pH balanced.unfornatually our 'food pattern' make the body into acidic level. pH is disturbed. as the body turn into acidic level, the cell become to unusual behaviour which we call it 'cancer'.once the cancer cell grow in the body , lack of Oxigen in the body and weak immune system help the cancer cell grow more and more.Cancer can grow when there is not enough oxigen in the body. Reversing the actual cause of cancer is the better way to cure cancer. eat lot of vegetable ,mashroom, and FISH and if we increse the amount of drinking water every day, we can bring our acid based body into neutral level.please drink 8-9 glass of water. soft water is better.it can go into each cell easily. hard water can not go into the cell. when our body is in alkaline level, we will not get cancer and go for walking every day for more oxigen. build up the immune system by eating healthy and balanced food. sugar based food turn the body into acidic side. then the body's pH is changed.that is no good.
Garlic is good to treat cancer. powerful immune system can fight cancer.
immidiate step is to drink more water which can bring 'pH immbalanced body' to 'pH balanced body'.
i believe 100% that cancer is reversable even in the last stage if we reverse the actual cause of Cancer.

She should go to the doctor. It may be something concerning. A mole or birth mark should not change in size or colour.

Please have it checked. A change like that could be an indicator of something bigger going on. It could be nothing, but it's better to get it checked out. I had a mole since childhood that doubled in size when I got cancer. Please let her know the sooner she gets it checked, the sooner she can put her mind at ease. Sorry, but that's going to require seeing a doctor. Best wishes to you and your friend.

Talk to a doctor (a dermatologist is best) who can assess the birthmark. This needs to be assessed. It might not be cancer, but why wait to find out?

Find out her dr# and schedule and appt, put a bandana on her and tell her its a surprise ...bring her to appt, and take it off in front of her doc... Then she'll have no excuse not to see her dr for something as important as this!!
