I have a couple Questions,Dr Rockoff!
i accenditly scratched a mole that i have,did i infect it? And do i have a chance of getting cancer?
And another Question,How likely is it for me to get cancer,im only 13 years old?
Im soo scared of getting cancer!!!!!!!!!
Dr rockoff I also found a small flat mole on my forearm that is light brown but under a jewelers magnifying glass I can see some dark brown spots and darker on one side.Its round and about the size of two pen tips.Im worried about this one too .what do you think?
also the border of the mole under my jaw is not perfectly round this also worries me is this something to worry about also?like I said its smaller than a pencil eraser and light brown.
White spots are not a typical sign of cancer. Itching is usually a sign of irritation, not cancer. Yes, a dermatologist can tell whether a mole is benign or not just by looking. From your description, I very much doubt that the mole under your jaw needs to be removed, but when you see the doctor you will learn whether it needs to be removed and if so how. I don't know how you can get in earlier, but I don't see any rush or reason for you to worry, based on what you've told me.
Take care.
Dr. Rockoff
I forgot to add the mole under my jaw has some hair from my beard growing right out of it thats why i try to be carefull when I shave.
