You really need to have it checked.  You may have irritated it somehow, but it could also be something of more concern.  See your doctor, better safe than sorry...

A mole or melanocytic naevus is a small, dark spot on the skin. It can be subdermal made of melanin, or a pigmented growth on the skin, formed mostly of melanocytes. The high concentration of melanin is responsible for their dark color. They are a member of the family of skin lesions known as naevi.\n\nMoles may either be present at birth or develop later in life.\n\nAcquired moles are a form of benign neoplasm, while congenital moles are considered a minor malformation, or hamartoma. Moles are most often of no medical consequence, but since they are permanent, they may occasionally be removed for cosmetic or other reasons.\n\nMoles are usually circular or oval and not very large. Most children are born with moles, and almost everyone has at least one or two moles on their bodies. Large amounts can be concentrated on the back, the chest and arms.

My guess is melanocytic naevus more commonly known as a mole. Moles are most often of no medical consequence, but since they are permanent, they may occasionally be removed for cosmetic or other reasons. There is enormous variation to as what these little suckers look like, just because it doesn't look like one of your moles doesn't necessarily mean its dangerous. If it does cause her any discomfort, or looks dangerous i would advise a meeting with a dermatologist.

Definitely, get it looked at by a doctor ASAP.  It could be the start of skin cancer which is easily treatable if not left too long.  If left it can spread and be deadly.  Not trying to scare you, but overexposure, particularly burning and lingering coloured spots point to something not right.  Rule it out right away...

I have worked in urgent cares for many years. When it is first burnt you only put siladene on it and nothing else.\n\nYou say it is dry which means it is healing. At this time I would treat the pain with an over the counter pain reliever and do not allow her to pick at the scab. Things like neosporine and the like can prevent the wound from healing properly.

Yes, but I would suggest that you have it removed by a plastic surgeon or at the very least by a dermatologist. I feel this way because this is your face we are talking about not somewhere that you wouldn't notice. Have you ever thought that if your mole is small that perhaps it's cute on you, I have a friend who has a small one and it wouldn't be the same if she had it removed. Some people consider moles as a sign of beauty. I don't mean the large ones with hair growing out of them. UGH! Best of luck, whatever your decision may be.

No Problem, had one on my back in march. But, be sure they do a biopsy on the mole, they did on mine, oops..... Hospital....big bit of flesh out around mole....... was biopsied, was clear (of cancer) Just relax, it will hurt less.

Could be a fungal infection, the body is prone to these when depressed, you will know if the soreness is very red and has a sticky (sweaty) feel to it. This is also contributed to by being overweight, and can effect the groin, belly button, and other folds of skin. If the rash has a lot of flaky skin it could also be a local psoriasis, which can also be brought on by depression. \n\nIf it is fungal canesten HC is one of the best solutions, but long term use is not recommended. If it is psoriasis ask your doctor if he can prescribe Dovobet. \n\nOn top of this use an unperfumed soap, use a lfannel and shower every day, wash your flannel after, and change your clothing regularly to prevent spread and reinfection.

HCG level is the standard measurement for molar pregnancy. If your mole had recurred, your hcg level would have risen. I'm not sure what is causing your headaches, but perhaps it's stress? As for the abdominal pain, that is common after a D&C because it takes time for your uterus to return to size.

it doesn't hurt one bit. they numb your mole with a shot. the shot doesnt hurt at all. i have the biggest fear of needles and i'm fine. then if it is raised then they just scrape it off but if it is even with your skin then they scoop it out like ice cream. depending on the doctor and size they will pull it together with stitches or leave it. if you have the option take the stitches b/c if they leave it then it raises and looks bad. i have had a few removed and all those times i didnt even realize they were finished because i didn't feel a thing. Also, my insurance covered it so I am not sure how much it costs. Good luck with it. :)

It might just be a canker sore. If you aren't in pain I wouldn't really worry about it, but if you are really concerned, then see your doctor.

An ulcer is basically a hole, so I'm not sure what you are describing.  What color is it?  Does it actually look like tissue with a hole in it?  Is it pink, or an off white solid mass like the little thing you can squeeze out of a corn kernal?  More info would be helpful.  I have a few notions as to what it is, but need more info.  Truly, though, a visit with your physician would be more informative than getting an answer from Y!A.

I had a mole   ( rodent ulcer),   removed last year,\n it was on the side of my neck \n I was very worried about how it was going to feel as well \n The only thing i felt was a tiny scratch from the local anaesthetic needle .\n the rest was a breeze ,\nchatting to the Nurse and the Surgeon \nand before i knew it it was done  , small dressing 2 stitches .\n\n 10 mins max , and NO after pain . \n And virtualy no scar.\n i am sure your procedure,  will go as well  too \n\n\nGood luck \n\n>^,,^<

The general rule of thumb is, if the mole has been around as long as you can remember, you should get it checked if it: has started to grow larger, is no longer smooth against the skin (has become raised up), if the edges of it have become irregularly shaped (no longer round-ish), if it's a dark mole and a newer paler "shadow" seems to be surrounding it.  All of these would be great reasons to see a dermatologist to have it looked at.

Not a good idea ... you could puncture it and cause a serious infection.  \n\nThere are 3 main issues that bring patients to the dermatologist for their moles.  One common patient concern is whether any of their moles are suspicious for or at risk of turning into cancer.  Another concern is about moles that protrude and get repeatedly irritated by activities such as shaving or rubbing on clothing.  Also, many patients have concerns about the cosmetic appearance of certain moles and may desire removal to enhance appearance.\n\n  Evaluation of moles to check for melanoma is an essential part of dermatology today.  Melanoma usually develops on previously normal skin, but on occasion may develop in a pre-existing mole.  People with many moles are at slightly greater risk of melanoma, especially if the moles are large and irregular.  Checking for melanoma is trickier when patients have many moles, the difference between normal moles and melanoma are often subtle and require an expert trained eye.  The removal of normal moles does not decrease the risk of developing melanoma.  Dermatologists are best qualified to determine which moles are suspicious enough for biopsy.  Ideal biopsy technique allows for complete information about the growth with minimized scarring.\n\n  Moles that are irritated by activities of daily living are best removed.  These moles may interfere with shaving or may rub against clothing.  The techniques used to remove these moles are the same as those used to remove moles that are cosmetically undesirable.\n\n  There are many people who have one or more moles that they see as detracting from their overall appearance.  Not all undesirable moles, however, are candidates for cosmetic mole removal.  Figuring out which moles are appropriate candidates requires careful judgment.\n\n  There are two main methods used for mole removal.  Moles can either be shaved off of the surrounding skin or excised with the underlying and surrounding skin and then stitched.  For best results, treatment should be individualized.  The shave excision method is the most frequently selected method for mole removal, as it tends to produce optimal cosmetic results for most cases.  Shave excision is also generally best for moles that are irritated by clothing or shaving.  For shave excision, the skin around and under the mole is injected with lidocaine anesthetic.  This takes away any minor pain of the procedure.  It also raises and firms the skin treatment site.  Then a small sharp scalpel blade, often lubricated with mineral oil, is used to precisely remove the raised and pigmented mole tissue while leaving a cut surface that is flush with the surrounding skin.\n\n  The shave removal technique is excellent, but, like all techniques, has limitations.  Despite every attempt to cut the mole exactly flush with the skin, minor imperfections of the cut surface may occur.  An electrosurgical apparatus is used in these instances to even out the contours of the removal.\n\n  With meticulous technique and careful patient selection, shave removal results are generally gratifying to patient and physician.  Nevertheless, permanent contour and color imperfections may occasionally result.  Contour imperfections may result if the tissue is not cut exactly even with the surrounding skin and may also rarely occur due to changes in skin contours resulting from the healing process.\n\n  During shave excision of moles, some of the melanocytes are often left below the even cut surface of the removal site.  Usually, these cells pose no cosmetic problem.  Moles may, however, regrow at the excision site shortly after removal or years later.  The mole cells below the cut surface of the removal site can also cause re-pigmentation of the removal site to a shade much darker than that of the removed mole.  This re-pigmentation side effect is particularly problematic for patients with olive skin or dark eyes and hair.  Mole regrowth and re-pigmentation occur more commonl
