Skin Growth - What the Hell Is This?
Posted: 12-06-03 15:32pm

Been growing for a couple of years Shocked
getting a little bigger all the time.
Can someone tell me what it is, how and if I should get rid of it?

for viewing the photo: this board is odd in that it capitalized a couple of letters in the above url. Make the u, c and j lowercase, then paste into address bar.

No pain outside of if touched with considerate pressure, no real redness or inflammation around the area. No other health problems, no stds, anything. Just a regular healthy young guy with this odd growth a little below my armpit.

I would go get it checked out with a doctor. I would say it looks like a mole however the fact that it's growing is slightly worrysome (sp? Lol) it really doesn't look like anything to be overly paranoid about but go to a dermatologist and have them check it out! Best of luck!

My friend has something that looks similar to that on his knee, I think he saw a doc for it and they said that it was nothing to worry about, but the fact that you say it is growing could be a problem, I would agree with 'darling' and say go see a doc about it, maybe even a dermatologist or one who specializes in moles or skin related issues
