Question 1

i have a mole on my face that is painful and today i noticed there is a hard lump underneath the skin next to it. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Get it checked out: Moles should not be painful. A hard lump underneath the skin may be due to a deep component of the mole, but it is hard to say without seeing and examining. A dermatologist can examine both the mole and the underlying lump to give you an accurate diagnosis.

Question 2

i have a mole that has been painful for about a week today it came out left massive creater with a large lump underneath. pain is shooting down arm.

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you and your symptoms warrant evaluation by a physician.

Question 3

i have an aggrevated mole about 20mm above my left ear & 2 non painful lumps have appeared about 100mm away towards the back of my head. any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Lymph nodes: The lumps in the back of your head are probably lymph nodes that are reacting to the irritated mole.  You should have it checked to see if there is an infection or other problem that needs to be addressed.

Question 4

lump under my mole what is it?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: You may need a biopsy and remvoal if it is suspicious.  Do not ignore bumps and moles.

Question 5

what does lump under mole mean?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation by doctor: Could be many things, but most concerning possibility would be melanoma developing in a previous mole (if it is a mole), as these can grow and expand under the skin.   You should schedule to see a physician or preferably a dermatologist ASAP to examine and for them to decide whether to remove/biopsy it if necessary.

Question 7

i've got a strange lump on the back of my neck, feels kind of like a mole. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Make sure it is only a sebacious cyst compared to something more dangerous.  Get it removed or drained depending on what it is.

Question 8

are all rapid growing mole like bumps cancerous? or can benign lumps grow very fast and turn out to be nothing?

Accepted Answer

No, yes: You suffer from anxiety. Skin cancers are rare at age 21.While some are serious, the great majority are not life-threatening. Most of the very serious skin cancers, melanomas in particular, are flat. If you have a spot on your skin that concerns you, see s dermatologist.

Question 9

i have a mole thats grown, changed colour, texture and outline, its also crusty.

this is probobly not related but i have lumps in both my armpits?

Accepted Answer

Biopsy : Biopsy is probably needed for the mole. Lumps need to be examined. So, you need to see doctors in person.

Question 10

a mole in the areola and a lump in my armpit. should i be scared now?

Accepted Answer

Not likely, but...: Many lymph nodes appear as "lumps" in the armpit--likely completely benign. At age 24, it is most likely that your mole is just that. But! if it has changed size, shape or color, you should see a dermatologist. Best bet--seek evaluation.
