Melanoma moles? |
okay, lately ive been reading all the teen magazines, like 17, glamor and cosmo. and they are all scaring my sh**less about melanoma. what worries me most is that i never really payed attention to my "mole" until i read this magazine. and it said asymmetrical borders which is just killing me because i seem to have like this small mole on my stomach but i never remembered it being exactly round or symmetrical throughout my life. and its freaking me out, it doesn't look super asymmetrical just not perfectly round, and i really don't no if it could be malenoma or not. i asked my mom which is a nurse and she said that it isnt but im still skeptical. i keep telling myself its not possible since i only tanned 5 times at a tanning salon, and i tan outside, and im only 15. also my sisters which are both almost 30 tanned so much in their teen years but theres nothing wrong, same with my mom who tanned a lot too. im not goin to the doc N.E.timesoon. anyone has personal experience with M. moles? A mole doesn't have to be perfectly symmetrical. If your mole is like that for as far as you can remember, if it doesn't grow and doesn't change within months, it's not melanoma. You are not too young to have melanoma, I had a student who had a melanoma at 19 years old and the fact that your sister tanned more than you and doesn't have melanoma doesn't mean a thing. My student never used a tanning salon and she still had melanoma. well if your really still scared about it, get a doctors opinion or even maybe a dermatologis. WEAR sunblock wen you tan. Look up pictures on the internet of these types of moles. The magazines are right about the asymmetry, but also the coloring is important. The coloring should be all one color. Also look at the edges of the mole. If the edges are sharp and has many points, like a star does, then that is a sign of cancer. Another sign is that it grows or changes shape over a period of time. I do a once a month mole check all over my body to verify that they are staying the same. |
