ive been getting random white spots on my skin-some are flat and some are bulgy
i have 3 on my arms and 6 on my legs
i know that some are cuts from shaving but i dont get how they all seemed to turn into perfect little cirlces that wont tan back-and ive been in the sun since then
am i safe or should i go to a dermatologist?
magazines are putting a lot of warnings on skin cancer in their issues so its really been on my mind
please help!

The skin tags should be removed if they irriate you. The new moles should be look at by a dermatologist. If the edges of the moles are smooth and even odds are that it is just a mole but if the mole has a very uneven and look ugly then I would quickly go see a dermatologist - skin cancer is increasing through-out the US. The pigments are hard to call - Basal Cell carcinoma often looks like a patch. I had over 20 spot removed from my mothers face when she was in her 70s which is much younger than you. The more I write - the more concerned I get that you may be in a pre-cancerous stage and you need a medical opinion not a Yahoo opinion

It sounds like tinea versacolor (a fungal infection). I have had it all my life. Sweating causes it to spread. You need to see a doctor (you can go to a regular doctor) to make sure. He will give you something that will clear it up but it never goes completely away.

I'd suggest that you see a skin-doc. That way you'll get the right answer.
