Question 1

i have a small dark brown almost  freckle/ mole in my inner thigh. i noticed it for the first time in may and it has not changed in appearance, size, shape, texture, or elevation. it is on a spot that if it got any sun it was minimal. ?

Accepted Answer

Be safe: Show it to your family doctor or dermatologist. A mole doesn't need exposure to sunlight to undergo malignant transformation. Better be safe than sorry. Best wishes for good health.

Question 2

had the same 3 mm slightly raised medium brown mole on inner thigh for 2 years. it hasn't changed. would nodular melanoma have grown bigger by now?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sounds like a benign mole to me.  A 3mm pigmented spot that hasn't changed in two years is very unlikely to be melanoma.

Question 4

i have this mole on my inner thigh .it is not symmetric like it has a weird shape. and it's brown but has darker spots. is it melanoma ?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: few melanoms present as a circular nodular growth. Rather they present with an irregular shape with variegated coloration, that is areas from dark brown to light brown to whitish.  If this is or is developing, one usually sees a fine redish area along some of the margins suggesting an immune attack since melanoma sheds antigen into the skin.  Biopsy usually indicated.

Question 8

Have it checked.: Most likely it is a benign lesion given your history. The red ring around it could be from irritation or the presence of a vascular lesion/blood vessels underlying or adjacent to the freckle.

Question 10

hello 
how do i get rid of a mole on my inner thigh?

Accepted Answer

Can see Dermatology: One can ask to have a mole, or several moles, removed when visiting a skin doctor (dermatologist). Removal is often at a second appointment, after the first visit. The patient and doctor can decide on a plan. Moles that need to be removed for safety reasons, are usually covered by insurance. Moles that one wants to remove for cosmetic reasons, are usually self-paid by the patient.
