worrisome mole

[physrx]

Hi-
I've had a mole on my upper thigh for long time (brownish color, ~5mm, slightly raised).  In recent yrs it has lost pigment in the center.  I don't believe it has changed recently (I think it's pretty much looked the same for a while), but I can't be sure.  The change may have occurred while I was pregnant, but again I'm not sure.
I have a derm appt, but they can't see me for 10 weeks! Do you think this is something worrisome that warrants more immediate attention?  
Thanks for your help!

hi,

i just had unprotected sex and after having it for couple of times a day for few days i started having burning urination for couple of days and i thaught it was coz of over doing sex. and now like 2 days later i see a bump on my penis on the head it looks like a transperant bump. and i am worried so if any1 could help me out or have any idea abt it..your feedback would be of a great help..i just hope its not anything serious...no more unprotected sex..

No, it sounds fine.  This degree of irregularity is entirely compatible with a regular mole that can stay indefinitely.  Your doctor will surely be able to reassure you when you see him or her.

Take care.
