Mole w/black spots

by kysarl182, Apr 03, 2009 12:20AM
I have had a mole on my right side of my chest, close to the breast. It hasn't changed much in size or in color and I have had this mole since I was a little girl. The other day I noticed there were black/brown dots inside of the mole. The mole is a raised mole and looks like it has small pores inside of it. I used tweezers to extract some of these "blackheads" from the mole. I am just wondering if anyone has heard of this happening before or if it something I should be worried about. I made an appointment to see my dermatologist, but that is in a couple of weeks. If anyone has any information about this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi,

Any changes in the mole's appearance or the ABCDEs of melanoma: asymmetry, border, color, diameter or elevation) warrants further evaluation. At this point, try to avoid manipulating the mole to prevent more harm. Let us observe  the appearance of the mole and take note of any further changes while waiting for your appointment with the dermatologist.  Direct clinical examination of the mole is important. This will help alleviate your worries or anxiety regarding the matter,

Take care and keep us posted with your appointment.
