Answer 1

you might have a mole...but, cancer i dont think so...

i think your ok

Answer 2

there is a test that the CDC recommends to test for skin cancer the ABCD test: A=assymetry If you draw a line through this mole, the two halves will not match, meaning it is asymmetrical, a warning sign for melanoma. b=border (an irregular border), the borders of an early melanoma tend to be uneven. The edges may be scalloped or notched. C=color; Having a variety of colors is another warning signal. A number of different shades of brown, tan or black could appear. A melanoma may also become red, white or blue. D=diameter, Melanomas usually are larger in diameter than the size of the eraser on your pencil (1/4 inch or 6 mm), but they may sometimes be smaller when first detected, and E=evolving, Any change — in size, shape, color, elevation, or another trait, or any new symptom such as bleeding, itching or crusting — points to danger.
But to be certain, you should always go to a doctor and have it looked at to be certain. Many people die of skin cancer each year simply because they ignore these warning signs. So go to your doctor, because you're better safe than sorry.

Answer 3

Well it could be a type of skin cancer...not breast cancer though...it is rare for anyone under the age of 40 to get breast cancer and that is usually a lump not a mole.

It is probably a mole...what it for changes. If it changes color or texture or grows or becomes more of a lump or the borders of the mole change then I would ask the dr to look at it.

Answer 4

I am sorry to hear such news, because of freaking you can't tell that is a cancer. First you must take a medical check up. But breast cancer didn’t bring out the freaking problem. I visited a site the site based on cancer and especially in breast cancer. Visit that site and get good results....

All the best buddy.....
