Dark birth mark: skin cancer? Posted: 04-08-07 10:04am
Could you please tell me if you think this
is skin cancer or not? I know you guys
arent doctors or whatever. I'd just like
a basic opinion. My skin doctor
appointment is on april 20th. I need
immediate response. I didnt see an area
here to upload images of my rash. So I
uploaded it to one of my sites i rarely
use. This used to be a birth mark that
was much lighter in color. its now darker
but still the circumference is less then
that of a pencil eraser.
this is the normal view -

and this is the zoomed in view -

please be sure to look atleast at the
zoomed in view. Its scaring the heck out
of me.
immediate response would be much
appreciated.
thanks

After viewing the pictures and given your
description of a birth mark that has grown
darker in color, you could be experiencing
an inflamed nevus. YOU MUST SEE A
DERMATOLOGIST OR A PLASTIC SURGEON
IMMEDIATELY!!!
