A member asked:
I have 2 moles on my left arm (lower and upper) that filled with pus and popped, then they turned black on the edges and scabbed over. cancerous??

Hard to tell. : Moles would not be filled with pus. These could have been sebaceous or follicular cysts that popped and drained. The discoloration of the edges could represent inflammation. A good Dermatologist evaluation may be in order.
