Has anyone seen a picture of what they're talking about?

There are links on this thread, and from looking at the pictures I see nothing of what you describe. I also have a small lump, not discolored (most of the photos showed red/brown/black spots), that my dermatologist has said is ok.

When in doubt FIND A DR! I had several moles removed a couple of years ago (I am 33) which were undergoing some change but not cancer. They were found during a routine physical. I now get checked every year so that any changes can be detected early.

Thanks! I posted my note before I read the posts with the links. Sigh. If I could just restrain myself sometimes and read ALL the posts before putting in my two cents' worth, I wouldn't ask so many dumb questions!

The pics WERE very reassuring, but I still think I'm going in to see the doctor, just in case.

Again, thanks!
