Question 1

i have a flat freckle on the back of my neck which is itchy and had become raised like a mole, should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Many moles start out as flat and then become raised.
Moles can be itchy.  Neither of these signs would prompt major concern,  but it can never hurt to have it checked.  Become concerned if change in color, especially getting darker,  looking different from your other moles,  more than one color in the mole, 
irregular borders.  A dermatologist can look at the mole
under a magnifying  lens in office.

Question 2

tiny red raised smooth oval bump on neck. could this be a mole? i've had it for ages and hasn't changed. i'm just wondering what it could be?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Skin bumps are very difficult to describe in words, so an exam by a primary care doctor or a dermatologist is helpful when a bump is present. Sometimes long-term bumps are moles, skin tags, little skin cysts, comedones, molluscum, etc...  If one cannot go to her doctor, then a video consultation (such as on HealthTap) with good lighting and camera quality may diagnose the bump.

Mole irritated: Seems like it is infected. Would f/u/ w/ doc urgent care and get antibiotics. Infection does not means cancer but irritating  a moles is not good practice. Would f/u/ w/ doc and later dermatology to have it removed.

Question 4

2 red raised skin lumps look like moles bright red in colour on neck and back are these cancerous?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Red raised skin lumps are typically benign angiomas or hemangiomas. They are not likelty to be canceous unless you noticed them to be getting bigger in size or bleeding or changing color. We worry a lot more if they are brown or black in color where there is some concern about melanoma arising from a mole. But that is not the case with red moles.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

See your derm: Any mole that starts to itch, bleed, or ulcerate should be brought to the attention of your friend;y dermatologist.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

: Not to worry.  The mole will heal and not create any problems and at his age it is not malignant. Don't make a fuss about it and do not criticize him for scratching it.

Question 7

raised 4mm mole on my neck got dry and flacky this week.small black dot occured,i think blood clot.last skin check by derm was one month ago.melanoma?

Accepted Answer

Likely not.: It is unlikely that any significant change occurred in your skin lesion within one month since the last examination by a dermatologist; nevertheless, anything is possible. It is always wise to have all pigmented lesions evaluated regularly by a dermatologist; if there are changes, a visit or phone call also gives you the opportunity to discuss your concerns with the dermatologist who knows you.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Skin lesion: It will be helpful to see the lesion as it is unclear if it is a mole, folliculitis, SK , dermatofibroma. Since it is a new lesion and seems different than others, you must get evaluated.
