Question 1

my face is full of black and light brown moles,why is it?

Accepted Answer

Face moles: We can't tell without at least good pictures to review. They are likely sun damage but to be sure, see your dermatologist and always protect your skin from sun burn.

Question 2

i have been getting small, light brown moles with a little crust on top but like the kind you would get after pinching with a needle.problem?melanoma?

Accepted Answer

Actual moles: do not have crust on them unless you scratch them. You can get new moles but also on darker skinned individuals, you  can get lesions called dermatosis papulosa nigra, which aren't actually moles but rather forms of seborrheic keratoses. If you really want to know for sure see a dermatologist, If lesion doesn't clear in one month I would certainly get a clear diagnosis

Question 3

17 female. nearly half of my moles are 2 shades of brown. does that mean theyre abnormal?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Size, has size changed, texture, has texture changed, boarders regular or irregular, have boarders changed.  Would be good idea to have Physician, preferably a Dermatologist, do a visual survey.

Question 4

when should i start worrying about my moles some are small clear, and some are small and brown

Accepted Answer

The : The classic signs to consider is the size, shape, color, and behavior of the mole.  Moles to worry about are larger than a pencil eraser, an irregular shape like texas or florida and not round or oval, have a change in color or is dark, dense black, are growing in size, bleeding, or in areas of irritation such as clothing friction lines.  Please do not limit visits to your physician for moles only with these characteristics.  Your physician will be more than happy to see you to evaluate any mole that bothers or worries you.  Peace of mind is good.

Question 5

i have about 4 moles on my body that are 2 shades of brown. im getting them checked tom but im freaking out. does 2 shade always mean abnormal?

Accepted Answer

Watch and wait: You may watch and wait. If  any of the moles doubles in size, becomes irregular in size, shape or color, bleeds, ulcerates or develops a nodule, see a doctor.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 6

near enough all of my moles have been changing colour and size brown-brown with black dots quite a few new moles have grown why and what could this be?

Accepted Answer

No way of knowing: but perhaps you are more exposed to the sun recently.  See a dermatologist

Question 7

i have a lots of mols for years but there are 2 moles on my back right next to each other they are light brown one is bigger never changed is it nomal?

Accepted Answer

Probably so: Unlikely to be a problem as you describe it, but would not be a bad idea to let your personal physician take a look at it to make sure...Obviously rather difficult to look at our own backs..If you develop any skin lesions that seem to be growing quickly or are turning very dark or appear to have blood vessels running through them, then definitely see you dr.  Slow to no growth is reassuring.

Question 8

hey i want to remove a brown mole from my face what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Mole : A dermatologist can remove the mole surgically . There are several options such as shave technique, punch biopsy or excisional biopsy with stitches. Consult with a dermatologist to discuss the best option to minimize any scarring.

Question 9

is it normal to have a black/ very very dark brown freckle/mole?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If this particular mole has never changed color size or shape and is less than 5mm than its possible that this is a normal mole or freckle. See your doctor if any question about this. If any mole changes or bleeds spontaneously for no reason definitely check with your doctor. One easy way to remember is abcd : assymmetry, bleeding, color change or diameter growth change. - mole should come off.

Question 10

i have a mole that is dark and light brown and it is also flaky ?

Accepted Answer

Dermatologist: I feel that any skin lesion that looks different from any other skin findings on your body is best checked by your physician or dermatologist for peace of mind especially if the lesion shows any change.
